Note:

  • Make sure that the repair shop knows that this is a potential insurance claim and do not authorize any work until you speak with your adjuster.
  • You may select the repair facility of your choice; only you as legal Owner can authorize any type of work. Your insurer can often recommend facilities that they know provide quality workmanship.
  • When disassembly or tear down is needed to understand the extent of damages, the insurer will let you know.
