Getting your injured car fixed after an auto accident should be a straightforward process, but that’s not always the case. While it may seem convenient to simply follow the advice of your insurance company, their body shop recommendation is not always in your best interest; instead, it’s wise to find an auto center with a sterling reputation such as Ohs' Body Shop. Based in Kalispell, MT, the body shop offers everything from collision repair to paintless dent removal. 

It is a common practice for insurance companies to make a body shop suggestion in the event you need a repair. Unfortunately, some companies are misleading about your choice in the matter, telling customers that they’ll only guarantee the work from shops on their list. This is, in reality, just a scare tactic—any reputable body shop will guarantee their work. You have the legal right to choose your own body shop, so the smart move is to do research and go with the shop you feel best about. Since insurance companies have special deals with the body shops on their list, their suggestions can be biased.

Often, an insurance company will give you a list with the body shops ranked out of 10. It’s worth remembering that if the body shop you prefer isn’t on the list, it actually has no bearing on the quality of that body shop. What it does indicate is the low rate the insurance company has negotiated with that particular center. As a consumer, knowing about the games insurance companies sometimes play will help you move through the restoration process with clarity.

As you look for the ideal partners to repair your vehicle, begin your search with Ohs' Body Shop. You can discuss your needs with the staff by calling (406) 752-8202. For more information about the auto center, visit their website.
