Were you involved in an auto accident? In addition to suffering injuries, it is also possible that your vehicle was significantly damaged. Depending on the severity of the accident, your vehicle might require extensive body repair prior to getting it back on the road. If you filed an insurance claim, the insurance company handling your claim might have recommended that you go to a specific repair shop.
Going to the repair shop suggested by the insurance company can be convenient; however, opting for convenience can sometimes do more harm than good. Many people will simply tell you to never go to the body shop suggested by the insurance company, but they will not tell you why.
There are a number of reasons to not go to the body shop recommended by an insurance company. At Downtown L.A. Law Group, our experts have put together a list of these reasons to help you during this complicated time.
Why You Shouldn’t Go to the Suggested Body ShopAfter a car accident, affected parties often have to take their vehicles to a body shop. Body shops handle the property damage aspect of the accidents. They repair any damage to the vehicle to ensure that it is safe to get back on the road. In most cases, insurance companies recommend certain body shops, and claimants feel compelled to go to them.
Without a doubt, finding a body shop to repair the damage to your car can be complex – after a car accident, many people simply do not want to deal with it. Insurance companies conveniently work with body shops; they recommend that their claimants go to these specific repair shops. However, going to the body shop recommended by the insurance company isn’t always the best option, even if it is the most convenience.
There are a number of reasons why claimants shouldn’t go to the suggested body shop. Consider the following points:
After making the decision to choose your own body shop, rather than going to the shop suggested by your insurance company, there are a number of things that you should do to ensure that you are going to the appropriate body shop that could repair your vehicle successfully.
Consider the following suggestions:
Following the suggestions listed above can help you during the process of finding a body shop. Another important thing is to always follow your instincts. You might have researched a body shop that a family member recommended; the body shop might be professional and fair. However, if you have any doubts, specifically concerning communications and respect, for example, do not hesitate to simply move on and find another shop.
