Good to know: You can file your insurance claim online, but your vehicle must be brought to Bob Weaver Collision in person for the estimate and any repairs.
There are a few things you should know when you’re managing your MMG insurance claim and body shop repairs. For starters, you don’t need to take your vehicle to any of the shops in MMG’s preferred network. In fact, it may be in your best interest to visit an independent collision center! Keep reading to learn more about how to get the best care for your vehicle.
Key Takeaways
- After you submit a claim with MMG, you choose where to take your vehicle for repairs.
- Using a body shop in MMG’s preferred network will likely be pretty quick and easy, but the quality of the care you receive may not meet your expectations.
- If you’re willing to do a little research, visiting an independent body shop can mean higher-quality repairs and auto parts.
How do you submit a claim to MMG Insurance?
To submit an auto claim with MMG, you can either call your independent insurance agent or call the company directly. After an accident, submitting a claim is the first step toward getting your car repaired.
Does MMG Insurance have preferred body shops?
Like just about every insurance company, MMG has its own Direct Repair Program (DRP), a network of body shops that enter prearranged agreements with the insurer. Basically, these shops agree to give MMG’s price caps and part requirements in return for having a lot of business directed their way.
Do I have to use my insurance company’s preferred shop?
No — at least, not in the state of Pennsylvania. Here, you have the legal right to spend your insurance claim at the body shop or collision center of your choice. Using one of MMG’s preferred shops is convenient. But an independent shop has more leeway to make all the necessary repairs using OEM parts.
What’s better, using an MMG preferred shop or an independent shop?
Both options have pros and cons. Using an MMG preferred shop will most likely be a quick, convenient experience. You don’t have to shop around for a preferred shop, and they’re incentivized for a quick turnaround (because of the aforementioned price caps). Meanwhile, choosing an independent shop will take a little bit of extra legwork, but you’ll be getting un-rushed repairs and the best quality parts your insurance claim can buy.
How do I choose the right body shop for my insurance claim?
Choose the right body shop by researching your options! Pay attention to customer reviews and get recommendations from friends and family members. Satisfied customers are the best indicator of quality. To avoid being overcharged, get several estimates. Your insurance company might be paying, but they’re unlikely to overpay.
