In a Collision Its Your Decision
Montana Code Annotated 2023
TITLE 33. INSURANCE AND INSURANCE COMPANIES
CHAPTER 18. UNFAIR TRADE PRACTICES
Part 2. Insurer’s Relations With Insured and Claimant
In Montana Code 33-18-224, where you take your vehicle for insurance claim repairs after a collision is your decision. Because by law the vehicle owner has the right to choose any body shop for the repair of that vehicle. Insurance companies are not allowed to steer or tell you where you have to take your vehicle for repairs. Insurers and adjusters are prohibited from engaging in acts that intimidate, coerce or threaten a vehicle owner, or provide an incentive or inducement to use a particular body shop.
Even the safest drivers can be involved in a car accident. So, at the scene of an auto accident you should take a few key steps. Make sure everyone is OK. Call the police and exchange information with any other drivers involved. And when the tow truck arrives have them tow your vehicle to us at I’m Automotive located at 5230 Holiday Ave in Billings Montana. Because we will take care of the rest.
Filing Insurance Claim
BE AWARE that Insurance companies have inside deals with certain body shops called DRP or direct repair programs. So many people will just trust their insurance company and go with whatever they pick. But this doesn’t mean that this is the best decision for you. First of all, there’s the potential of you getting lower quality work as the insurance company wants to keep their costs down. In many DRP situations they charge a lower agreed to labor cost and use cheaper parts than they would normally use for regular customers. To save the Insurance Company money, they will often have to use (aftermarket) parts which may not be the best quality or even used or recycled parts. The fact is that insurance companies like to have control over these DRP repair shops so that they get a more cost-effective approach for them to keep more of their money.
So it’s important that you do your own research to decide on which auto body shop you want to handle your insurance claim estimate. Ask your friends for recommendations and closely read reviews to see which auto body shop you should go with. If you are in the Billings, Montana area, that recommendation is Im Automotive.
