Know that you have the right to
have your vehicle repaired at the
facility of your choice. No insurance
company can insist or require that
you use a particular repair facility.
You are not required by any law
to obtain more than one damage appraisal/estimate.
Certain
insurance companies may refer you
to one of their drive-in
claims centers for an inspection.
YOU may also request the insurance
company to inspect your vehicle
at a repair facility of your choice
where
the estimate can be negotiated.
Don’t
compromise the quality of repair
of your vehicle. For
most people their vehicle is an important
investment so be sure to choose
a
highly recommended collision repair
facility with technicians certified
by I-CAR or ASE.
Estimates may vary in cost from
one facility to another, or even
from different insurance companies.
This is usually due to an inability
to see all the hidden damage. We
will be happy to answer any questions
for you regarding this.
Ask the repair facility if original
manufactures (OEM) replacement parts
will be used for your vehicle.
