http://www.rushmorebody.com/Default.aspx?tabid=29 FAQs Q. Do I have to go to the shop that my insurance company suggest I go to for repairs? A. No! Under Michigan law you may have repairs done at a repair facility of YOUR CHOICE. ITS YOUR CAR YOUR CHOICE! Only an unscrupulous company And or its agents would try to deceive you in such a manner. SUGGESTION: Insist on exercising your Rights BY Using a Shop of YOUR CHOICE and Then shop for Insurance from A REPUTABLE INSURANCE CO. Q. what if my insurance company says your shop is not on their LIST? A. The List that they are referring to is a Direct Repair Network. Of which we are not on any Direct Repair Network. It may NOT be to your best interest to have your vehicle repaired at a shop that is listed as a preferred shop for obvious reasons. Those shops that are D.R.P. shops work for the insurance company. NOT YOU. Your repairs might be compromised by using one of these Shops. (example). IF the insurance company says to put junk part on you car., these shops will put junk parts on you car because they will have the fear of being removed from the LIST. These Shops may use inferior parts as well as use low quality paint and materials in order to contain costs for the insurer. most of the D.R.P. shops have a agreement with the insurance company to Discount parts and labor in return for their referrals. Again keep in mind that The Shop Must Remain Profitable in order to stay in Business therefore may cut corners in one form or another in order to offset these agreements. Only an unscrupulous company And or its agents would try to deceive you in such a manner. SUGGESTION: Insist on exercising your Rights BY Using a Shop of YOUR CHOICE and Then shop for Insurance from A REPUTABLE INSURANCE CO.
