Your
car is the second largest investment you're likely to make. Preserve its value and your
safety by having it repaired professionally. |
| 2. |
Never drive a car that
could be unsafe because of damages. |
| 3. |
Some
insurance companies may want you to visit their drive-in claims center before having your
car repaired. You can do this, or you may leave your car at our shop and ask that the
insurance company inspect the car here. |
| 4. |
You are not required
by law to obtain more than one estimate or appraisal. |
| 5. |
You
have the right to go to the repair shop of your choice. Your insurance company cannot
require you to go to a particular shop. |
| 6. |
Differences in repair
estimates are common. A lower estimate may not include all necessary work. If you're not
sure why one estimate is different from another you've received, please ask us. |
| 7. |
Choose
a shop that has unibody repair equipment and certified (by I-CAR or ASE, for example)
technicians. |
| 8. |
Ask if the shop will
be using genuine manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts. |
| 9. |
Ask
if the shop offers a repair warranty. |

Let us help you
negotiate your claim with the insurance company. |
