Choosing a Car Repair Facility After an Accident<\/h2>\n

Nobody wants to experience an auto accident, but accidents can happen to anyone. Many drivers assume that after an accident, they must use a repair facility chosen by their insurance company. While many insurance agencies work with preferred auto repair shops and may encourage you to use them, your auto insurance company generally cannot force you to use a specific repair facility.<\/p>\n

That said, your insurer can typically request an additional estimate if they believe your chosen shop’s estimate is too high. If the insurance company offers an estimate that seems too low, you have the right to request a higher one. If you believe an adjuster’s assessment is inaccurate, you can also request a different adjuster if you feel it’s necessary to secure a fair claim payment.<\/p>\n
