Ten things to know before repairing your car -
Your vehicle is the second largest investment you are likely
to make. Preserve its value and your safety by having it repaired
professionally.
Never drive a vehicle that may be unsafe because of damages.
Some insurance companies may ask you to vist their drive-in claims
center before having your vehicle repaired. You may do this , or
leave your vehicle at our shop and ask that the insurance company
inspects the vehicle at our facility.
There is no law requiring you to obtain more than one estimate or
appraisal.
You have the right to go to the repair shop of your choice. Your
insurance company can not require you to go to a particular shop.
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, please ask us to explain.
Choose a shop that has Unibody Repair Equipment and certified technicians,
for example I-CAR or ASE certifications.
Ask if the shop will be using genuine manufacturer (OEM) replacement
parts.
Ask if the shop offers a repair waranty.
