That’s why our work is backed with a lifetime warranty. However, there are steps you can take to protect yourself as well.
- If your vehicle is unsafe to drive, or you’re unsure, contact us or another repair facility. Do NOT drive it if there is a chance that something isn’t going to work as expected.
- Verify that your chosen repair shop uses OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts. Others may not be of the same quality, perform as well, cause usual wear and tear on other parts, or even require expensive modifications or adjustments that can be susceptible to the same issues.
- Your vehicle is a major investment and a lifeline for many people. While it may be tempting to ignore repairs, unrepaired damage can greatly reduce the life of your vehicle and become more expensive to fix the longer it’s left.
What You Should Know About Collision Repairs and Insurance Companies
Insurance claims and companies can often be the most stressful part of collision repairs. However, there are things you can do to make it easy while saving money and getting the work done in a timely manner.
-
After an accident, some insurance providers request that you deliver the vehicle to a facility to have the damage assessed. While this is an option, you also have the option to request that they send an appraiser to the repair facility.
-
Your insurance provider cannot determine where you take your vehicle for repairs. You have the right to choose.
-
You are not legally required to provide your insurance provider with a second estimate for auto repairs.
-
Your collision repair shop should negotiate your claim with your insurance provider on your behalf.
-
The cheapest estimate isn’t always the cheapest option. Some may be missing costs like supplies, updated pricing, or even all the auto repairs you need.
-
Customer service representatives are there to help you. So, if you have multiple estimates, ask how they differ along with other questions you may have about the process.
Accidents can be expensive and stressful, but they shouldn’t be. Dream Collision Repairs is here to help no matter how big or small. We aim to be your local Lawrence, KS auto body and collision repair service.
