Automobile Insurance — Estimates

There is no state law that requires you to obtain two estimates; however, it is a very common and acceptable practice. This permits you to compare estimates and have your vehicle repaired at the lowest possible cost.

Competitive body shop estimates reduce insurance claim costs which help in maintaining or reducing auto insurance rates.

If you choose to have your car repaired at the shop with the higher estimates, you may certainly do so and pay the difference.
