After an accident, selecting a repair shop might seem like a small step, but it can have a big impact on almost every part of the insurance process. Many drivers place a high priority on getting their car serviced as soon as possible, but few are aware that the shop they select can have a big impact on the quality of the repairs, future claims, safety inspections, and even the long-term worth of the vehicle. Insurance companies keep a careful eye on repair standards since poor work could lead to unanticipated costs later.
