Your insurance company wants your vehicle properly repaired and for
you to be completely satisfied with their claim service. You have
specific rights and obligations that you should be aware of. Review
your policy. Understand your rights.
2.
If an agreement cannot be reached between your insurance company
and the repair shop, your policy has an "Appraisal Clause"
whereby an independent appraiser can be called in to help resolve
the matter.
3.
You are not required by law to get more than one estimate.
4.
You may have the shop of your choice make the repairs. You are not
required to use a shop selected by a claims adjuster. However, you
are required by your policy to allow your insurance company a reasonable
amount of time to inspect the damages prior to repairing them.
5.
Only you, the owner, can authorize repairs on your vehicle.
6.
Repair estimates will vary. A lower estimate may not include necessary
things such as front or rear wheel alignments, re-aiming your headlamps,
etc. It's your car, make sure it's repaired to your satisfaction.
7.
The vehicle is being repaired for YOU, the owner. You will be required
to pay for the repairs upon completion. To avoid delays, it will
be up to you to secure payment from your insurance company along
with any necessary endorsements from lien holders.
