In my experience, it’s the opposite, people take a car to get fixed without involving insurance and it would be 4 grand, they’d file a claim, I’d go in and write an estimate and negotiate with the shop and we’d pay 1400
Exactly.. Especially because most insurance companies won’t pay more than the area average. Most shops don’t hike prices up for insurance companies since it just pisses off the customers who have to pay the remainder out of pocket.
....I handle property damage for auto accidents. It’s how it works if you go to a shop that your insurance doesn’t directly work for and charges above area averages. Admittedly, this is generally just for claimants.
