How to Deal with Stingy Car Insurers
Tips from veteran auto body shop owner, Al Sigler www.siglersautocenter.com
Al Says…First I’d like to apologize for having to start off with bad news, the little fender bender you just caused is going to cost you money even though you’re insured. If you have a $500 deductible and you have to replace a fender which cost a minimum of $800 and could be as much as $3000+, you can say good bye to your money. Your insurer will now suggest a collision repair shop.

Shops that are in the network of approved service providers work for the insurance company and not you . Most auto shops will do what they are told by the insurance companies because to stand up for the customer would threaten an important stream of business. Your car may suffer because they are forced to cut costs. Insurance companies request so many discounts and have rules that result in the repair shop doing the bare minimum just to stay in business. Independent shops like Sigler’s Auto Center in Skokie, IL. accept insurance but they aren’t afraid to advocate on behalf of their customers and are proud to be independently owned and operated for nearly 30 years.

For a list of independent shops that meet certain quality criteria, e-mail Al Sigler of Sigler’s Auto Center and he will provide you with the names of recommended independent auto repair shops in your area.
