DON'T LET YOUR INSURANCE CHEAT YOU OUT OF YOUR MONEY!

Often times insurers suggest that their clients only go to a "preferred shop" to get their repairs done. Please note that "preferred shops" do not guarantee a more effective repair for the customer. Many insurers have agreements with auto body shops and will receive commission on your behalf. In return, your vehicle can be repaired with cheaper, low quality parts. 

Insurance carriers may persuade politicians & lawmakers to bend to their will. 

Insurance companies have been found guilty of funneling money to government officials in order to keep them in their debt. This is why it becomes so difficult for the little guy to win against the insurance company in court.

 

Be careful using the pocket estimating app!

The pocket estimating apps actually save the insurance company lots of money but could potentially cost you thousands of dollars and even place your life at risk

​

What is the pocket estimating app?

         The pocket estimating app is a smartphone app that insurance companies encourage their clients to use. The app works by taking a picture of the damaged vehicle to send to your insurance company. This information is used to write an estimate of the damage and a check covering the damages is sent to the insured.

​

 Pros: It’s fast, simple, and gets the claims process started. It is faster instead of waiting on an adjuster. It is really good because 95% of the wrecks need to be brought into a collision shop to be disassembled. This is needed to assess all hidden damage. This saves time and is an efficient process for getting the initial estimate. The initial estimate is what a repair shop needs to get started.

       Pay attention to your vehicle’s warning signs. At any time, you feel unsafe stop driving and call a tow truck.

Cons: A picture cannot simply capture all the damages that lie underneath. Relying on this information could cost you thousands of dollars in repairs due to an inaccurate estimate.
