Oh my! I've been involved in an accident!Two people occupying the same space...
Accidents happen. We see it everyday. What do you do? There are legal and financial decisions that you need to make as well as getting your vehicle repaired. Before contacting your insurance company be informed of your rights, choices, and costs in order to make an educated decision about your vehicle and your finances. You need to know the truth.
You have the right to take your vehicle to the repair facitlity of your choice.
Collision repair facilites, Insurance companies, and/or Dealerships may report your accident to CARFAX or other reporting agencies. CARFAX retreives information whenever a police report is filed. Auger's will not provide accident reports to these agencies. This is not a merit based reporting system and it can effect your tade-in value and the resale value of your vehicle regardless of repairs or severity.
You do not have to get three estimates so your insurance company can settle on the lowest cost.
You should not give power of attorney to your insurance company to manage your repairs or accept a repair facility owned by an insurance company. It could be a conflict of interest.
Your insurance company is not responsible for repairing your vehicle. You pay for insurance so if you have an accident your insurance company will payfor the repair. Their business is to accept the highest premiums you are willing to pay and settle on the lowest cost to repair your vehicle. Our business is to repair your vehicle to factory specifications and make sure you and your family are safe on the road. We will work with every insurance company and offer Limited Lifetime Warranty. We are happy use cost saving methods of repair as long as we can warranty repairs for life and know you and your family are safe. Your insurance agent absolutely wants to secure your best interests. They can yelp also!
Should you file a claim?
There are many factors in filing a claim. Were you at fault? Was your car hit while parked? Was a police report filed? Did the other party file an insurance claim? What is your deductible and what is the net impact of paying the deductible and increase in premiums as opposed to paying for the repairs? Does the party at fault want to pay for repair themselves without a police report?
Auger's can help you answer all your repair and insurance related questions. Step One is to get a consultation and an estimate.
