Can You Choose Your Car Repair Facility?

If you are involved in an auto accident, you will want to get your car repaired.  You might wonder if the driver of a car damaged in an accident can choose whichever car repair facility they want to use.  According to Joye, your insurance company may provide you with a list of car repair facilities that they prefer. However, you are not required to use any of those car repair facilities. 

The car repair facilities that are on the insurance agency’s list have a business relationship with the insurance company. According to Joye, if you prefer to use a different car repair facility, the insurance company still must pay for the damage to your car. However, if the facility you choose charges a higher repair rate than the rate charged at the insurance company’s garage, the insurance company is only obligated to pay the lower cost. Any difference in repair cost will have to be paid by you.
