Auto Repair Insurance | What You Need To Know

You pay your insurance. Is it unreasonable to expect that company to work for you to get your car repaired and back to you promptly? Unfortunately, that’s not usually how it works. Their job is to get repairs done for the least expensive price. Sudden Impact’s Sudden Service works for you, advocating to make sure your insurance company pays for all the work required to get your car back to the way it was before the accident. Check out our article here for an in-depth look at why you should consider an independent auto body shop.

Getting Auto Repair Estimates

Although your insurance company may ask you to visit their claims center, by law, you have the right to choose who does the auto repair. Sudden Impact provides free estimates and we work for you to make sure your insurance company pays what you’re owed to get all the work done properly. You can leave your car with us and ask the insurance company to inspect it here.

Why Auto Repair Estimates are Different

Differences in auto repair estimates are common. A lower estimate may not include all necessary work. It might also include used or lesser grade parts. You have the right to ask for OEM parts instead of after market or used parts. The insurance company, however, is not required to pay the difference for OEM parts. We’re happy to answer questions about any estimates you get from any other shop and compare the difference.

What to Look for When Choosing a Auto Repair Shop

Insurance companies cannot guarantee work done on your vehicle. Only the repair facility can. You want to make sure the shop you choose stands by their work. Sudden Impact not only uses parts with warranties, but we also offer lifetime warranties on our work.

When choosing an auto repair shop, you want to make sure they have the right tools for all the jobs. Our certified technicians and advisers use uni-body repair equipment to properly repair your vehicle back to original safety standards. Uni-body vehicles are manufactured without a frame. The structure is stronger and absorbs the impact of the crash. It requires a different repair process than the old pull-apart process of the past. Because we repair the whole structure, you know your vehicle is as safe as it was when you first bought it.

Not only will your car be restored to original safety standards, but our paint job will make it look like new. We use a spray booth to re-paint your vehicle, eliminating the risk of air particles interfering with a smooth finish.

Your car is one of the largest investments you make. Preserve its value and you and your families safety by having it repaired professionally. We care about your car and we care about you. Sudden Impact Sudden Service is committed to getting you back on the road and on with your life.
