  • Detroit Dent Repair Technician Explains how Auto Body Shops work with Insurance Companies

    (EMAILWIRE.COM, June 30, 2010 ) Detroit, MI – Dent repair technician, Lenny Rutkowski, was recently interviewed and he explained the relationship between traditional auto body shops and insurance carriers. “There are some things that insurance companies and auto body shops don’t want you to know,” said Rutkowski.

    Lenny began by explaining how auto insurance companies work with auto body repair shops, “Insurance companies typically contract with body shops for a pre-negotiated rate for repairs. Some practices include requiring low hourly labor rates or forcing the shop to cover the cost of a rental car if they do not complete repairs timely. These practices tempt the auto body shop to cut corners to recover this cost.”

    Another concern consumers have is how long they will be without their vehicle while collision repair is being performed. “Quite often, the work is not done when promised,” said Rutkowski. “Auto body repair shops like to blame this on a delay in parts delivery when the truth is, they took on more than they could handle.”

    Lenny advises consumers to check out the auto body repair shop to see if there have been any complaints about not completing work on time. “Also check to see if they use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts, rather than generic or salvage replacement parts. Some insurance policies have wording in them that requires you to use lower quality parts if you are in at fault in an accident. Otherwise, you need to request that they only use OEM parts.”

    To avoid these problems, Lenny Rutkowski recommends getting an estimate from Collision on Wheels, a mobile auto body shop, before visiting a traditional auto body shop. “Our cost for minor collision and dent repair is typically less than an insurance deductible,” said Rutkowski. “In the event that the cost of repair is more, we do work with most major insurance carriers. Insurance companies appreciate us for providing quality workmanship while keeping the amount of the claim as low as possible.”
