Beware of selecting the most inexpensive estimate
We all like to get a good deal, but how motivated should we be when it comes to
searching for the least expensive estimate in regard to our vehicle repair? There
are few reasons why the cheapest estimate is not always the best option. Consider
the following standards:
INDUSTRY STANDARD
Industry Standard repair is the level many good shops want to achieve. It is the
minimum level of repair your insurance company owes you for collision repairs
using cost as the major guideline. You will also hear things like “reasonable and
customary for the market area”. This phrase helps them adjust the cost of repairing
your car, again based on pricing and the area where the repair shop is located. It
makes “industry standard” less of a goal and more of a moving target. In many
cases, our automobiles are the second largest single purchase that we will make.
Therefore, we need to preserve the fit, finish, and function of our investment so that
it will perform correctly long after the collision repairs have been completed. Also,
with the issue of diminished value upon the sale or return of a vehicle, if a cheaper
repair is performed, it will definitely affect the resale or trade in value of a vehicle.
OEM/ FACTORY AND PENSKE STANDARDS
This level of repair may be beyond what your insurance company is willing to pay,
but at Penske Collision we defer to the folks who built your car when it comes to
safety and procedures. We absolutely follow manufacturer’s guidelines. Repairs
of this quality level may require a monetary commitment from you, but we will work
with you to fully disclose all hidden damages and additional costs before work
proceeds. We will ask you to specify this repair level if you desire the very best.
