1.

Your vehicle is the second largest investment you’re likely to make.  Preserve its value and your safety by having it repaired properly.

2.

Never drive a vehicle that could be unsafe because of damages.

3.

Some insurance companies may want you to visit their drive-in claims center before having your vehicle repaired.  You can do this, or you may leave your vehicle at our shop and ask that the insurance company inspect the vehicle here.

4.

There is no law requiring you 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.  They may only give you a suggestion if you request it.

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 original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts.

9.

Ask if the shop offers a repair warranty.
