[Do I pay my deductible to the body shop?]
It's one of the questions we hear most often, here's the simple answer:
Your deductible is the portion of your repair bill that you are responsible for paying. If your insurance company is covering your claim, you can opt for them to pay their portion directly to the repair shop and your deductible is due when you pick up your vehicle.
Example:
🚗Repair Cost: $5,000
🏦Insurance Pays: $4,500
💵Your Deductible: $500
Thats it! You don't pay your deductible to the insurance company. You pay it to the repair shop when your repairs are complete.
