Progressive makes it pretty easy to file an auto body claim! As long as you keep tabs on both your insurance company and body shop, you shouldn’t run into any problems.

Bob Weaver Collision Center has worked with Progressive Insurance for years and we work to make sure you are on your way, on your terms.

The Auto Body Insurance Claim Process

  • First, you’ll need to file your claim with Progressive. You can contact the company through their call center, website, or mobile app.
  • After an inspection, Progressive may ask whether you want to repair your car or receive a payment for it. We recommend getting an estimate for repairs before you decide!
  • Take your vehicle to a trustworthy body shop for an estimate. Let them know you’re going through the claims process so they can contact Progressive with their estimate.
  • Once Progressive approves the shop’s estimate, repairs can begin!

After filing my Progressive claim, how do I choose a collision repair shop?

We recommend doing a little research to find a trustworthy body shop (like Bob Weaver Collision Center) in your area. In Pennsylvania, you’re not required to bring your vehicle to any of Progressive’s preferred collision centers. Often, insurance companies build their networks based more on price than reliability.

Instead, bolster your peace of mind by avoiding their recommendations altogether and choosing a shop based on its glowing reputation for reliable service. The law protects your right to high-quality service!

What do I need to know about the Progressive insurance repair process?

Before heading to the body shop, review the repairs your vehicle needs with Progressive. A company rep can help you understand what your policy covers — and what it doesn’t. You’ll also need to know how much Progressive expects you to pay in deductibles. By budgeting in advance, you can avoid unexpected problems!
