TIPS:

We see insurance companies in the trenches but we also see the ones who do the job right and consistently perform when a claims happens.

The bottom line is. This ….. your car is your property, you pay for it. Don’t be lead to believe anyone will accept the responsibility to repair the car by reengineering the car to please an insurance company. So stay involved in all aspects of your repair and make sure you trust who repairs the car. Before leaving your car at ANY repair shop, ask the shop manager:

1) Have you made any agreements with an insurer or adjuster that may alter your professional recommendations concerning repairs to my vehicle?

2) Have you made agreements to discount parts and/or labor with any insurer or adjuster during my repairs? If yes am I entitled to that discount instead of the insurance company? Why do you offer these discounts to insurers and not consumers?

3) Have you made any agreements with insurance companies that may cause you to withhold any important information from me concerning repairs to my vehicle?

4) Will you provide me with a copy of your agreement with the insurance company handling my claim. If not, why?

5) Will you deal with me as the owner of the car without influence from any outside party? If not, why?

6) Do you work for me or the insurance company, or both? How can you satisfy my best interests and also those of an entity outside of my repair contract with your shop such as the insurance company?

7) Does your shop install imitation body parts to save an insurer money? What about the affect to value of my vehicle?

8) Does your shop install any  used suspension parts, used wheels, reconditioned wheels, or safety related equipment to repair my vehicle?

9) If yes to #8 how will these parts affect, alter or void my factory warranty?
