Important information

Many insurance companies use preferred repair facilities similar to that of the health care industry using preferred doctors. They may try to "steer" you to a shop that follows their repair "guidelines" or that has a signed contract with them. Remember that it is your right to select any repair facility you wish. To fully protect your investment, you should select a repair shop that will bring your vehicle back to complete, pre-loss condition. Certain insurance carriers attempt to force shops to use cheaper, untested, imitation parts rather than original manufacturer replacement part (OEM). The insurance company that is paying to repair your vehicle may not pay for all procedures necessary to bring your vehicle back to its pre-loss condition. We will notify you of any omitted operations your insurance company might not pay to perform.

Servicing our customers also extends to contacting your insurance and handling the claim for any supplemental or additional repairs needed. We will contact you to approve any additional repairs. In some cases, the insurance company does not approve the payment of operations or parts we feel are necessary for a proper and safe repair.

If your insurance company says our shop is not on their preferred list, it's because we are not on their list for a purpose. Their purpose is to save money, our purpose is to repair vehicles the way our professional technicians feel is best and to ASE, I-car or manufacturers specifications. Because we are a Dupont AOQ (Assurance of Quality) Shop, all paint repairs have a 4-year warranty. All other repairs carry a minimum 1-year warranty up to a lifetime warranty, depending upon the labor rate paid.
