When you are in an accident, and it was the other driver's fault, there are a lot of different things that are going to be going through your head. You need to first ensure that you are alright, and then call the police. Once things have settled down, you need to call your insurance provider and start your claim.

There are going to be a few different options that you have depending on your provider, but you will likely be able to put the claim on the other driver's policy. This means that the insurance provider for the other driver will be paying for the cost of the repair. When you talk with the insurance agency, they will give you a list of auto collision repair shops that they work with. There are many reasons to use one of these shops. Here are a couple of reasons to use the insurance company's auto repair shop.

They Provide Quality Work

One of the main reasons that you want to use the auto body shop that the insurance agency uses is that they are usually some of the very best auto collision repair shops. Insurance companies do not use low quality collision shops. They want your experience to be a great one so that when your own auto policy is up, you decide to get a policy with them. Also, when the repair shop knows that the insurance company is going to pay for the repair, they do not hold anything back. They make sure that the repair is done properly.

They Will Take Care Of You

If you are in an accident that puts your car out of commission, the insurance agency is going to need to provide you with a car. Once you drop off your car at the auto body shop, the shop will often be able to get you the rental that you need. The auto body shop will do an excellent job on your vehicle for a couple of different reasons. The first reason they are going to do a great job is they want a returning customer. The repair shop wants nothing more than for you to say, "Wow" when you pick up the car. The other reason that the collision repair company is going to do a great job is that they are constantly getting evaluated by the insurance companies. They do not want to lose the business of the insurance companies that give them so much business.
