Do You Really Need Multiple Repair Estimates? Debunking the Myth

If you've been in a car accident, you might hear that you need multiple repair estimates before getting your vehicle fixed. But is that really true? Let’s clear up the confusion!

Do Insurance Companies Require Multiple Estimates?

No! There’s no law requiring you to get multiple estimates. You have the right to choose your repair shop.

Why One Estimate from a Trusted Shop is Enough

🔹 Consistency – Different shops may use different estimating software, leading to price variations.

🔹 Accuracy – A shop familiar with your vehicle's make and model can give a detailed and accurate estimate.

🔹 OEM vs. Aftermarket Parts – Some shops may estimate repairs with lower-quality parts to make prices look lower.

Beware of Insurance Steering!

🚨 If an insurance company insists on a specific shop, they may be steering you toward a facility that cuts corners to save costs.

👉 Pro Tip: Always choose a collision center that prioritizes quality repairs and safety—like Solon Collision!
