Do I Have to Use the Body Shop My Insurance Recommends?
If you’ve recently been in an accident and your insurance company pointed you toward a particular repair shop, you should know this: you are not required to use the body shop your insurer recommends. Even though insurers often suggest shops they work with to streamline claims, you legally have the right to choose the collision repair facility you trust — whether that’s because of reputation, quality of workmanship, manufacturer certifications, or personalized service.
