I don't necessarily agree, but there is a way that an insurance company has to do business just as you have to do business. I have had to deal with several shops that are in your position. In the end we have to either tell them pick a different shop, or you are more then welcome to use that shop but you will have to pay the difference that the insurance company will not pay. For someone that is in your position, most shops refuse any insurance claims for the exact reasons that you have mentioned. It's purely from a business standpoint that insurance companies have shops that they either deal with directly or know of body shops that can do the same exact work for cheeper. I know that doesn't help your answer at all but it's the truth. :( |
Thanks for telling me what I have known for years...lol. Most of the lower price shops either substitute used or reconditioned parts when they are getting paid for new, or the employ illegal immigrants. IMHO, the shops that are doing the work for less are cheating both the customer and the industry as a whole.
Inside baseball note: I just got a '66 Vette collision in and demanded $25/hr. over the prevailing rate, or I would not take the job in. I got the job...>$25K estimate. Too many High-end shops (4 Corvette resto./collision) have gone bust since I opened my doors) don't know their real costs and plod along until they go bust. Rant off! |
