Do I need to get 3 estimates? Our Long Beach body shop can help.

So you've been in a car accident. If you're not at fault, the person that hit you might ask you to get a 2-3 estimates. It's very rare that insurance companies ask for multiple estimates anymore. Do you need to visit several shops for multiple estimates? The short answer is no.

Getting multiple estimates around Long Beach is surely not the best method to select the best auto body shop nor the best use of your time. And although most body shops are wonderful members of the business community, not all shops conduct themselves professionally.

Long Beach Auto Body Shop Free Estimates

  1. Spending time getting estimates is time consuming to both the consumer and the repair professional and is a waste of gas.

  2. An estimate before the vehicle is disassembled is only a preliminary estimate and won't be final. There are often hidden damages that are usually located where you can’t see until disassembly has been completed. So if you only get the money from the other party for the preliminary estimate, you could find yourself out of pocket.

So how to choose? As previously mentioned, most body shops are professional and ethical but you want to be sure! You should do your research and due diligence (i.e. check Yelp and Google, online, get personal referrals, tour the facility, ask local businesses in the auto field, obtain references etc.) before making a decision. We're confident that once you check us out online, ask about us or come and tour our shop you'll want to trust us with your vehicle.
