Even the latest state-of-the art equipment for repairing your late model vehicle. But you should expect nothing less from your repair facility.

Let me touch a little on insurance company claims procedures. Many times when confronted by an insurance company whether your company or the company of the person who hit you. They may try to persuade you to have repairs completed at one of their "Preferred Shops" Some tactics may include Guarantee, Warranty, Time or even Discount. Many of these programs have been developed by the insurance company with their best interest In mind. Remember; it's your vehicle and your decision on where you want the repairs completed.

"What to Expect After an Accident"

Call the police and make a report and exchange information with all parties involved. Do Not rely on the police to share personal information on the other party, "get that information yourself." This can expedite the claim process and ensure your vehicle to be repaired without delays.

When speaking with an insurance company "Take Charge" tell them you want your vehicle inspected at your dealership. All insurance companies will be more then willing to meet with you and the body shop manager at the dealership to inspect damages.

Supplemental damages are very common in collision repairs. These additional costs can occur from price increases or secondary damages found after the vehicle has been disassembled. Repairs don't evolve around an agreed amount of money, but an agreed repair philosophy and part usage. We will take charge of your repair process and recommend the highest quality repair with safety, warranty and customer concerns as priority.

Finally, make the decision with the insurer up front on how you would like the repairs paid, directly to the shop or to you. This can also be frustrating when time to pay for the repairs.

If your are still uncertain about a repair commitment, call me directly:
