Car Insurance Question  Can I take my car to my own body shop?

You can take your car anywhere you like for repairs.

However, if you don’t have a preferred body shop, we can help you locate one that’s close to your home or work, from one of the shops affiliated with your insurance company.

If you choose to have your vehicle repaired at one of the shops affiliated with us, it’s likely that you’ll get your auto insurance claim resolved faster.

Comment Update: We work with multiple companies. Most companies should not have a problem with using an outside body shop, regardless of the body shop ownership. If any repair work isn't consistent with the payment (outside of indemnification) then the claim payment can be denied.
