Our Body Shop Manager fields a lot of calls and texts with questions about insurance coverage following an accident or collision. For today’s blog we thought we’d cover some do’s-and-don’ts of selecting adequate insurance coverage, and some of the ins-and-outs of processing claims via insurance and body shops for repair. Selecting quality insurance for your vehicle can not only protect you and your car, but also your passengers, family members, and other drivers.

Budgeting for good, quality car insurance when purchasing a car can save you hundreds in costly repairs, and avoids time wasted from playing phone tag or chasing via email. When you choose a reputable insurance, you will have more flexibility in selecting your regular mechanic, or the option of having your car fixed by a professional partner shop. At Classic Auto Body – all you may need is an estimate from your insurance company & we’ll take care of the rest. With a state-of-the-art facility & some of the best equipment available, you’ll be in good hands. 

Beware of discounted insurance, as it usually results in less coverage than you need and major customer service hassles. The national companies might have slightly higher rates, but they are still competitive, reliable, and efficient. 

Here’s a recent story about a customer who was struck by a deer and his car suffered significant damage. He had his vehicle towed here. We worked with his insurance company, arranged his covered rental car, and completed the work to factory specs. His only expense was his insurance deductible.

Stick with a national, reputable insurance company, and you’ll ensure that your claims are handled professionally and efficiently.
