& what your Insurance Company won't tell you
& what your Insurance Company won't tell you
MISTAKEÂ #1 - Let your insurance company choose your Collision Center
Many insurance companies mislead or pressure its insured?s into choosing a Collision Center that serves the best interests of the insurance company and not your best interests. What your insurance company won't tell you is that it is your choice by law to choose any repair facility of your choice regardless of being on their list or not.
ln an effort to steer you to a specific Collision Center, your insurance company may use the following tactic:
Advise you that delays inherent in the repair process will be avoided if you take your vehicle to their preferred Collision Center.
Your insurance company won't tell you most delays in the repair process are due to parts and their availability.Â
Here at Royal Motor Sales we stock over 1.5 million parts on site to help eliminate those delays.
They
will say that you will incur additional out of pocket expenses if you
choose to use an independent repair facility which is not on their
referral list.
Here
at Royal Motor Sales we work with Insurance companies on behalf of our
customers to ensure there are no additional charges unless they are ok'd
by the customer.
They will promise you that if you take your car to a shop on their list they will guarantee the repairs.What they won't tell you is that Royal Motor Sales guarantees all the repairs as long as you own your own vehicle.
MISTAKE #2 - Choosinq a Collision Center that is not factory certified
What your insurance company won't tell you is that your car could be a "guinea pig" for their preferred shop because they have never worked on your make and model before.
No
other repair facility in the bay area knows more about your Audi,
VW, Volvo or Mazda than Royal Motor Sales Does. With our factoryÂ
trained technicians and huge Original Equipment parts inventory Royal
Motor Sales will repair your car right the first time.
MISTAKE #3 - Use Counterfeit Replacement PartsCounterfeit automotive parts are a $12 billion dollar business. These parts are made with lower tolerances and quality that are often not visible to the human eye - but can affect safety and resale value of your vehicle. What your insurance company won't tell you is that their preferred Collision Centers are required by the insurance company to use a certain percentage of these counterfeit parts in order to stay on their preferred list.
