SO HOW CAN BADAUTOREPAIRS.COM HELP?
In order to properly education auto owners who may be involved in an accident, you must know the difference between a Preferred body shop and an Independent body shop.
PREFERRED BODY SHOPS – (Always recommended by the insurance carrier) - They have a history of working with the insurance company’s adjuster and its policyholders in order to get the body repairs completed. The body shop will provide an initial estimate to the insurance claims adjuster and to you before the work is started.
If there are additional damages to the vehicle that are discovered after the repairs have begun, the shop will write a supplement for the additional damages. This often arises out of identifying hidden damage not initially identified at the time of tear down. Additional parts and labor costs may be taken into consideration unless denied as not part of the accident / repair.
Most insurance companies have an established agreement with the auto body and repair shops and guarantees that they will repair your vehicle back to manufactures specifications.
Houston Auto Appraisers has not had many claims against an insurance companys’ PREFERRED BODY SHOP as they generally do not want to interrupt the steady business being obtained by the insurance company on a DAILY REFERRAL BASIS.
Keep in mind, they can always say that part not repaired was not part of the accident, in order to deny repairing a part that possible was damaged during the accident. If that is the case. Call Houston Auto Appraisers.
INDEPENDENT BODY SHOPS – (Not listed on a referral program) – These shops are 100% independent. These are the shops that we have seen causing the most trouble in regards to repairing the vehicle correctly and guaranteeing customer satisfaction.
They have no written agreement with any insurance carrier, therefore once the insurance company has paid them for the work performed on your vehicle and you are not 100% satisfied with their substandard repairs, they can basically look at you in your face and tell you that’s all that they can do for you and don’t let the door hit you on your ass on the way out, all while shouting out Yee Haw, now git out’r here!
Now what can you do?
You place a call into the insurance company who paid the shop for the repairs only to be told that since that was a shop of your choice, and since they are not listed on “Our preferred vendors list” you must return the vehicle back to the shop where you had it repaired and address your concerns with the manager. But what if they tell you that’s all we can do for you and shout now Git out’r here!
