It’s an Important Decision
Selecting a Phoenix Body Shop After an Accident
Your automobile may be one of the biggest investments you have in your lifetime and an accident can be a very damaging and traumatizing experience. It is important right after an accident to ensure you and other people involved in the accident are okay. After your personal injuries are assessed, you will have to look at what kind of damage (if any) was done to your car. Making the decision to which Phoenix body shop you would like to take your car to can be very tough and may take some research in order to find the one that is right for you. Many people are not equipped with the knowledge to determine how much damage was done to their car and how to fix it; therefore, it is easy to be taken advantage of and pay far more than is needed to fix their vehicle. When choosing an auto body shop in Phoenix, choose one that has experience and trustworthiness, one that will do their best to assist you and make the process go as smoothly as possible.

It is nice to have other people’s opinions, such as your family and friends. Websites such as Google Reviews, Yelp, Kudzu, and the Better Business Bureau (BBB), are websites where people that have used businesses, rate and review them. Recommendations are important and through other people’s experiences, you can tell you if the body shop they went with is the best choice for you.Businesses with a high rating and high praise by the people who used their shop are the shops to look into.
Once you have a shop in mind and you take your car to have an estimate, try to get a feel for the shop. The staff should be helpful and courteous and the body shop, including the lobby or office, should be neat and clean. Another thing to look for when you are inside a shop is if they have a sticker or paper that says they are I-CAR certified, ASE certified or any other awards that may show they were recognized for excellence and quality service.Remember a shop that is nicely taken care of will nicely take care of you. It is very easy to tell a body shop with a high reputation for quality service from a shop that is not. Cost and convenience are also very important and will add to helping make your decision.
