With over 35,000 auto body repair shops all over the United States, choosing the repair shop can make a car owner dizzy.
The Vice President of the Council of Better Business Bureaus (CBBB), Steve Cox, agreed that an insurance company may make some recommendations on the right repair shop but he asserted that the ultimate responsibility in selecting a trustworthy and quality-oriented repair shop is in the hands of the drivers themselves.Together, they give tips on how to save money on a replacement rental car and on how to arrange any arguments between the shop and the car owner. This means the transaction must be in written form. The car owner must get a written repair and price estimate of the work to be performed. Before the job begins, explanation of why specific recommendations are necessary to fix the collision damage is also important. They further said warranty is another must.The CBBB and the NABC recommend opting for a trustworthy collision repair shop. According to them, a car owner must check out the shop's qualifications.Those small prints in that written policy can make a big difference if you need to have collision repairs made to your car. This is especially important if parts need to be substituted. Most written insurance policies use very specific words as to the replacement parts.
The first one is that before selecting an insurance company or when renewing your car's insurance policy; know first the limitations of the policy as to the replacement parts. An insurance representative can help in discussing these limitations.The second tip is that if the company's replacement part policy limitations are issues to you, try other insurers. Because consumers nowadays are very meticulous on replacement part restrictions, there are some insurance companies which offer more choices to policyholders.
