   COLLISION REPAIR MONITORING   

This service will reinforce the actual damages to your vehicle and will help you to achieve proper repairs. Insurers use their partner shops and appraisers to control the cost of repairs. However, we find that insurance estimates are 40 – 60% less than what the actual repairs should be. We will inspect the vehicle on your behalf to secure proper repairs. Comprehensive inspection within 50 miles of our office before the repairs begin and analyze insurance and shop estimates, provide paperwork to achieve proper repair.
