No. If your insurance company tells you to get multiple estimates, you are not required to do so. That’s a waste of your time and money. Insurance has to pay for a quality repair from where ever you choose to take your vehicle for auto body and collision repairs. You should not be required to “estimate shop” on behalf of your insurance company.

It’s wise to ask about the technician’s certifications and experience, the estimated repair timeline, warranty on work and parts, whether they work directly with your insurance, and how they source parts (OEM vs. aftermarket). We have a team of licensed, insured & experienced ASC and I-Car Certified technicians for all your auto repair and collision repair needs.

The time required depends on the extent of the damage. Minor repairs can often be completed within a day or two, while major collision repairs may take several weeks due to parts ordering and detailed refinishing.

Look for shops with certified technicians, good reviews, and transparent estimates. It’s also beneficial to choose one that works with your insurance company and has a history of quality workmanship. We accept ALL major insurance providers including Geico, Allstate, Farm Bureau and Progressive.

Ensure everyone’s safety first, contact emergency services if needed, and document the accident with photos and notes. Then, notify your insurance provider and contact a reputable repair shop for an evaluation.

A thorough inspection by a professional is essential. Technicians assess structural integrity, alignment, and mechanical systems to ensure your vehicle meets safety standards before it’s declared roadworthy.

Quality repairs include measures to prevent future rust and corrosion. However, ongoing exposure to harsh environments may require periodic maintenance like undercoating or rust-proofing.

While minor scratches or small dents might be fixed with DIY methods, significant damage—especially structural issues—should be addressed by professional technicians to ensure safety and proper repair.

Regular washing, waxing, and prompt attention to minor scratches or dents help maintain your vehicle’s appearance. Following the repair shop’s care instructions can also extend the life of your car’s finish.

Many shops offer warranties on both parts and labor. Warranties can range from 12 months to lifetime on certain aspects like paintwork, so it’s important to ask about warranty details before the repairs begin.

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are designed to match your vehicle’s exact specifications, while aftermarket parts can be a more budget-friendly option. The choice depends on your needs, vehicle age, and warranty considerations.
