Taking your car to an insurance company’s "pre-approved body shop” for repairs



	Mistake to Avoid Taking your car to an insurance company’s "pre-approved body shop” for repairs When your car has been damaged in an accident, the insurance company of the person who hit you may suggest you take your car to a pre-approved garage. Don’t do it! Taking your car to their pre-approved garage is a mistake. Here’s what could happen. The actual damage to your car may be $1,500. However, the insurance company may pressure the garage to fix the car for under $1,000. Because the garage gets a lot of business from the insurance company, it agrees to do the repairs for less than $1,000. The insurance company then argues that because there was less than $1,000 in damage to your car, the impact probably wasn’t very severe and you could not have been hurt in the accident.
