(773) 777-6562Your Advocate in the Insurance Process
Unlike many auto body shops, we maintain complete independence from insurance companies. This autonomy ensures that our allegiance lies with you, our valued customer, rather than with insurers.
We aim to advocate for your best interests, providing service and care that goes beyond the standard. Contact us today to get the most out of your insurance claim.
Navigating Direct Repair Programs
It's important to note that most body shops participate in Direct Repair Programs (DRP), receiving most of their work through insurance referrals. These arrangements often require the shops to accept compromises that benefit the insurer, not you.
At National Body Works, we stand apart by not participating in DRPs, ensuring that any savings or benefits are passed directly to you, our client.
Step by Step
Steps to Follow for an Insurance Claim
- 1
File a police report immediately.
- 2
Contact the relevant insurance company to initiate your claim and obtain a claim number.
- 3
If eligible, arrange for a rental car through your insurance coverage.
- 4
Bring or have your vehicle towed to National Body Works — we can assist with towing.
- 5
Leave the rest to us. We'll even coordinate with the rental company to have your temporary vehicle ready at our shop.
Important: Vehicle Inspection
When making your insurance claim, it's crucial to resist any pressure to have your vehicle inspected outside of our facility. Preliminary estimates conducted off-site are often significantly understated, potentially overlooking hidden damages.
By ensuring the first inspection occurs at National Body Works, we can guarantee a comprehensive evaluation, advocating for a complete and accurate repair plan from the start. Contact National Body Works today for any assistance or to begin the claims process.
