Your car is the second
largest investment you're likely to make. Preserve its value and your safety by having it
repaired professionally. |
 |
Never drive a car that could
be unsafe because of damages. |
 |
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 out shop and ask that the insurance company
inspect the car here. |
 |
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 cannot 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 you've received, please ask. |
 |
Choose a shop that has
unibody repair equipment and certified
(e.g. I-CAR or ASE) personnel. |
 |
Ask if the shop will be using
genuine manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts. |
 |
Ask if the body shop offers a
repair warranty. |

your claim with the insurance company. |
