Each year, thousands of vehicles are involved in serious collisions and are taken to repair shops. About 70% of vehicle owners depend on insurance proceeds to pay for the damages. Would you be surprised if your repair facility charged you more than your insurance company paid to have your car repaired?

Most people believe their insurance company is going to pay for everything. When you are handed a bill, you may be surprised and apt to feel like you are being overcharged. Most consumers don't realize it is the job of the insurance company's adjuster to negotiate the lowest price possible with the shop. Often this means the insurance company will insist the shop use imitation parts or will pay such a small amount to repair your car that it makes it almost impossible for the shop to restore your car safely to its pre-damaged condition. In an unqualified repair facility, this means all your car may receive is a cosmetic makeover. Most of the time you will not become aware of a poor repair until your car is involved in another accident.

In order to properly repair your car, a quality repair facility is often forced to charge you the difference in what your insurer will pay. Maybe the insurer is insisting on used or "imitation" parts. Maybe the insurer wants to cut corners. A quality shop will not compromise your safety by making this type of repair. A quality repair facility will explain the charges involved in repairing a vehicle properly and will offer their customers written information to familiarize them with the repair process.
