What you should know

Here are some things you should know when choosing a repair shop and getting your vehicle repaired:

• Next to your home, your car is probably one of your biggest purchases so make sure you get it repaired properly at a reputable shop
• Insurance companies CAN NOT require you to go to a shop they recommend to have your car fixed. You are paying the insurance company and they work for you, so make sure you choose the place you want your car to be fixed.
• You are not required to get more than one estimate for repair work. When you are obtaining estimates and there is a large difference in price, make sure all the work is included. Many times, lowball estimates do not include all the work or lure you in only to find out the price is much higher after the work starts. ASK questions!
• Your repair shop should be looking out for your interest, not the insurance company. After an accident, you have
  the right to have your car towed to any repair shop that you request and your insurance company will pay for the
  work done regardless of the shop. At Central Autobody, we have over 55 years of experience working with
  insurance companies and repairing cars to our CUSTOMER’s satisfaction.
• Ask about whether or not the work is under warranty before starting the work. Central Autobody stands by its workand will warranty the auto body work that we complete on your car.
