How Do I Find The Right Auto Body Repair Shop?

Finding the right auto body repair shop is easier than most think.

Reputable – One of the most important factors is finding a trustworthy shop. This could be as easy as checking online for reviews and testimonials from previous customers. Getting a general consensus of experiences others have had with the company will paint a great picture of their customer service and quality of work.

Skilled Employees – Checking a company’s website for certified auto body technicians can give you the peace of mind that your car is in good hands. Auto body repairs are a craft that has to be taught and learned over time and a certified tech will have the necessary skills to provide quality repairs.

Free Estimates – While most auto body shops offer this service, it is always good to ask about a free estimate so that you can get a general idea of what your repairs will cost. This is also something that will be required by most insurance companies if you are having your insurance company cover the repairs.

Car Rentals – One service that stands out from other shops is the ability to give you a rental car while your car is being repaired. Most auto body shops do offer a shuttle service to get you back to work, however, having a rental car makes the process much easier.

Advice For Dealing With Auto Body Repair & Your Insurance Company

If you are dealing with an insurance company to handle most of the payment on the repairs, there are a few things you want to remember when doing so:

  • Report an auto accident as soon as possible. Follow the insurance companies procedure to make the process quicker and easier for everyone.
  • The insurance company will follow up with two options – sending a representative to estimate the damage to your car or have you take your vehicle to one of their partner repair shops to estimate the damage.
  • You do have the option of taking your car to a shop you trust and having your insurer meet you there, however, they may offer you less due to it not being with their partner shop. At this point, you can protest the offer, pay the difference out of pocket, or simply take it to the recommended shop for the repair.
  • Once the estimate is agreed upon, the shop will make the necessary repairs needed to get the car looking new again. However, if more damage is found, you may have to reach out to the insurance company again with the updated quote for the repairs.
  • Finally, when the repair is done, ask the shop for a guarantee (warranty) on the newly installed parts and inspect the car thoroughly before leaving.
