🚨 INSURANCE STEERING — KNOW YOUR RIGHTS 🚨
Were you told you “need to use” the insurance company’s preferred body shop?
Were you warned that choosing your own shop could cause delays, additional costs, or problems with the repair?
⚠️ DON’T LET PRESSURE MAKE THE DECISION FOR YOU.
After an accident, the insurance company may recommend one of its preferred or network repair facilities — but YOU have the right to choose the repair shop you want.
Remember: The insurance company does not own your vehicle. YOU do.
At McCarthy AutoWerkz, our responsibility is to our customer and the proper repair of their vehicle — not to meeting an insurance company’s preferred-shop requirements.
When your vehicle comes to us, we:
🔧 Research applicable manufacturer repair procedures
📸 Document damage and necessary repair operations
📝 Submit supplements for additional damage and required operations
🤝 Communicate directly with the insurance company throughout the claim
🚘 Work to restore your vehicle using proper collision-repair procedures
An insurance estimate is exactly that — an estimate.
It does not determine everything that may ultimately be required to properly repair your vehicle. Additional damage, procedures, parts and operations may be identified during the repair process.
If you’re ever told:
❌ “You have to use one of our shops.”
❌ “We won’t guarantee another shop’s work.”
❌ “Your shop charges more than we pay.”
❌ “The process will be easier if you use our preferred shop.”
Ask questions. Know your rights. And make your own decision about who repairs your vehicle.
💥 YOUR VEHICLE.
🔧 YOUR REPAIR.
✅ YOUR CHOICE.
