Since you probably shopped around when you purchased your car, you might feel like you should do the same when you need auto body repairs — but is shopping around actually worth your time? Here are three reasons to go with your gut when it comes to collision estimates, and why one reason might be all you need. 

It’s Your Choice 

You know a great auto body shop that offers fast, accurate collision estimates, so why wouldn’t you have your car towed there? Although insurance companies like to appear as if they get to choose the body shop, the choice actually belongs to you. In addition to simplifying the repair process, the opportunity you have to choose an auto body shop can make it more convenient to drop off, check on, and pick up your car, so don’t worry about shopping around if you don’t want to.

Your Deductible Will Be the Same

While it is true that some shops have discounted rates with car insurance companies, those discounts aren’t passed on to you, You will likely pay your normal auto insurance deductible no matter where you go. The upside is that you don’t have to worry about finding the “best deal” and can turn your attention to finding a shop that can do the best job.

Get Your Car Back on the Road

Another benefit of going with your gut is you will be able to get your car into a shop faster, which in turn helps you return to your normal routine quicker. Instead of calling auto body shops, waiting on hold, and talking with them about cost comparisons and collision damage, you can simply choose the best shop, deliver your car, and wait for the repairs to be made.
