THE GORTSEMA COLLISION CENTER IS YOUR BODY SHOP IN GRANGEVILLE

10 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE CHOOSING A BODY SHOP


Being in a traffic accident is very upsetting. You might wonder, "Do I have to go to a specific body shop for repairs? What should I do if I get several estimates and they all very greatly? Should I even be driving my car in the condition it's in?"


Let the Gortsema Collision Center answer these questions and others that may arise after an accident. Here are 10 things to know about collision repair in Idaho. :

  • You have the right to go to the repair shop of your choice. Your insurance company cannot require you to go to any particular shop. 
  • There is no law that requires you obtain more than one estimate.
  • Differences in estimates are common. A lower estimate may not include all necessary work. If you are not sure why one estimate is different from another you received, let us assist you. 
  • Choose a shop that has unibody repair equipment and I-CAR or ASE certified technicians.
  • Ask if the shop will be using genuine manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts. 
  • Ask if the shop offers a warranty.
  • Let us help you negotiate your claim with the insurance company. 
  • Some insurance companies may want you to visit their drive-in claims center before having your car repaired. You can do this, or you may leave your car at our shop and ask the insurance company to inspect your car here.
  • Your car is the second largest investment you are likely to make. Preserve its value and your safety by having it repaired professionally. 
  • Never drive a car that could be unsafe because of damages or faulty repairs.
