LESSON #1: ABOUT “SAVING” YOUR DEDUCTIBLE. When a deductible is
involved, so is an insurance company. Most if Not All insurance companies have
or hire an appraiser or staff member to write an estimate on their
behalf.
Rarely do they take a body shops estimate without review or question. Any collision repair shops that tell you they can “overwrite an estimate just to “cover your deductible, is …probably off their medication or seriously needs some.
Truth is, those shops that overcharge have a love hate relationship with Insurance companies and the fight is due to them overcharging and resenting being regulated or having to negotiate at all.
Truly they are the number one reason why appraisers
exist today. In days gone past , shops tried to get away with
“cheating”, but now-a-days, most independent shops take the insurance
estimate and then work with the insurance company by proving what else
has to be added, called supplements.
LESSON #2: HIGHER THAN NECESSARY ESTIMATE QUOTES: Don’t waste time
getting 3 Three of the highest estimates you can find. As said before, they Will
be reviewed and adjusted. If You want to pay the difference you can BUT…
When you choose a shop that gives you their discounts on parts and
concessions other preferred shops only give to Insurance companies, you can
apply those savings to upgraded parts to higher quality than your policy
allows.
LESSON #3: USING CHEAPER/ AFTERMARKET OR LKQ PARTS: First of all, your policy
is the decider of if or when these parts can be used / allowed. The most the
body shop can do is negotiate better terms for cash or find better supplier
contacts.
It’s up to the body shop to accept only the highest quality auto body
parts available no matter if they are aftermarket or Like Kind and Quality.
It’s best for all involved.
LESSON #4: CUTTING CORNERS: Usually, it’s the Insurance company that trims back
on repair procedures.A Good High Quality Body Shop will be able make their case
and fix it right.
If the body shop only wants to repair it right ONCE, it’s Always better to Know how or if it’s ok to repair or replace. Most times the appraiser will go with the a repair IF he believes the shop has the personnel , training and experience to handle it.
In higher end or all “attitude” shops they favor replace over repair for their own reasons of cycle control and profit incentives.You are simply a means to an end. So they say pay up and shut-up.
In the average good quality body shops, they assume and expect the appraiser to
come back for a re-inspection if a supplement is requested. They don’t like to
be fooled or cheated. A good working relationship that includes ethics and
trust helps everyone.
Quality Body shops do not have to cut corners throughout the repair process to
lower the cost by parts , quality or skipping certain repair practices or
procedures. This doesn’t have to be an issue if they can show what’s in the
paint cabinet and provide the proper invoices or proof.
There is “some” profit in just about every
step.So the better the vehicle is repaired adds up in your favor by quality AND
discounts. Bring your vehicle in for proper-professional examination.
LESSON #5 IGNORING HIDDEN DAMAGES: is stupid and unethical. It’s stupid
because it leaves a body shop 100% liable. Whats more is, on every insurance
estimate , they explain that it’s un-necessary because they will consider a
legitimate supported supplement.
It’s Always better to repair your vehicle safely AND get paid for it. It’s a No Brainer. Most times, the repair Will take longer depending on how long it takes the appraiser to get back out and what day of the week he or she gets there. We can have your rental time extended through documentation when needed.
LESSON #6: TIP – RECOMMENDATION & ADVICE: Ask about their Guarantee/ Warranty first and get it in writing so there’s no misunderstandings or hurt feelings later.
Check their body shop reviews, are they close enough to you for your needs or will the value make it worthwhile. take your vehicle in for the best deal and don’t fall for sleazy salesman tactics
