How the Donegal Claims Process Works
Using a regional PA carrier like Donegal makes a difference when it comes to navigating a claim. Unlike large national insurers, it operates within the same state-specific estimating protocols that our shop works with daily — which means fewer delays, less confusion, and a smoother process from start to finish. From the initial estimate to final approval, we keep things moving and keep you informed every step of the way.
Parts and Your Donegal Policy
Under Pennsylvania's Motor Vehicle Physical Damage Appraiser Act, if an appraisal includes non-OEM aftermarket crash parts, the appraisal must include a written statement disclosing that fact, and if any aftermarket part would void a warranty on the original, the replacement part must carry an equal or better warranty. In short, you'll always know what's going on with your vehicle before work begins.
For newer cars, OEM parts requests are generally approved with proper documentation, and we handle that process on your behalf so nothing falls through the cracks. Bob Weaver Collision works to get your vehicle back in action.
Your Right to Choose Your Repair Shop
Under the above Act, no appraiser or their employer may require repairs at a specified repair shop. In fact, every written appraisal in Pennsylvania must include a statement confirming this. You can bring your vehicle to Bob Weaver Collision with confidence, knowing that your rights are protected by state law.
