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 appraiser. |
| 5. |
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. |
| 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 uni-body repair equipment
and certified (by I-CAR or ASE, for example) |
| 8. |
Ask if the shop will be using genuine manufacturer
(OEM) replacement parts. |
| 9. |
Ask if the shop offers a repair warranty. |
| 10. |
Let us help you negotiate your claim with
the insurance company. |
