This family-owned and -operated auto body repair shop has served the Texarkana, TX, community with fairness and integrity for over 45 years, making them the clear choice for simple and complex repairs. But why is it so important to get an estimate?

Here are a few reasons to get an estimate before having any auto body repair:

• Ensure A Fair Price: According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), an estimate sets expectations for the work to be done and how much it will cost. They report that estimates should include the anticipated costs for parts and labor. The estimate also should be signed and require your approval before work is started.

• Meet Insurance Requirements: If you have been in a car accident, your insurance company will want an estimate of the repair costs before they send you a check. Before beginning any work, be sure your insurance company has signed off on the estimate to ensure you receive the full amount allowed by your policy. 

• Create Clear Communication: An estimate will save you a headache in the future. Before getting collision repairs, be sure you understand the work that will be done and charges to be incurred. The FTC recommends discussing how prices work, such as asking whether the shop charges for estimated or actual labor time.  Kemp Bros. Body Shop is happy to go over estimates with their customers.
