And when they do happen, it\u2019s imperative that you have your car repaired so that it\u2019s not a danger to you or anyone else you\u2019re sharing the road with. But before you select a collision shop, there are some things you need to know. Here\u2019s a closer look:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Aside from your home, it\u2019s likely that your vehicle is the largest purchase you\u2019re going to make in your lifetime. It\u2019s all the more reason to preserve this investment and have your vehicle repaired by a certified body shop.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>You never want to risk driving a vehicle that may be unsafe because of damages. It could injure you or someone else.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Though insurance companies may recommend you have your vehicle repaired at a particular collision repair shop, you\u2019re free to have it serviced at the service center of your choosing. It\u2019s the law.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Just because one shop gave you a lower estimate than another doesn\u2019t make the low-priced shop the better option. Sometimes, low estimates don\u2019t include all of the work that is needed or don\u2019t use the high-quality parts needed for a sufficient fix.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Not all collision repair shops are created equal. Look for I-CAR or ASE certification among technicians and check to see if the shop uses OEM replacement parts to separate quality shops from the questionable ones. Also, be sure to check on any warranties that are offered with repairs. Good collision repair shops usually stand behind their work.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Good collision repair shops won\u2019t just perform quality work at a fair price, but they\u2019ll also help negotiate claims with your insurance company. This value-added service can go a long way toward reducing costs, streamlining repairs and minimizing inconvenience.<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Accidents happen, it\u2019s a fact.
