Best Auto Body Repair in Spokane Valley, WA

If the damage to your vehicle is a result of your error and you have comprehensive and/or collision damage, then your insurance company pays for the repairs (less your policy's deductible). You are responsible for paying the deductible amount directly to the repair facility.

The collision repair facility guarantees its own work. An insurance company or other third-party cannot effectively guarantee the quality, thoroughness, and craftsmanship of the repairs.

Yes-the choice is entirely yours. An insurance company may make a recommendation, but they cannot force you to take your vehicle to a facility of their choosing.

Original equipment manufacturer's (OEM) parts made by the manufacturer of your car are generally better quality, better fitting, and have better corrosion protection capabilities. Depending on the age and condition of your vehicle, there may be some sound economic reasons to use after-market parts in the repair. The decision should always be yours; however, many insurance policies are being rewritten to give the insurance company the sole right to make this economic decision. Make sure you know the terms of your policy in this area.

Differences in repair estimates are quite common. There are three primary estimating systems used by collision repair services and insurance companies: Mitchell, CCC, and ADP. Each of these systems break down labor operations differently and frequently use different material allowances for similar operations.
