3 WAYS INSURANCE WILL TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU.

Most people don’t realize this until it’s too late.

After an accident, your insurance company is no longer “on your side.”
They’re a business... and their goal is to pay out as little as possible.

Here are 3 common ways insurance companies try to cut corners (and how it can cost you):

1. Steering You to Their “Preferred” Shop
Insurance companies often push certain shops hard. Not because they’re better, but because they agree to cheaper repairs.

What that can mean for you:
• Aftermarket or recycled parts
• Rushed repairs
• Shortcuts you’ll never see until something goes wrong

👉 The truth: You legally have the right to choose any repair shop you want.

2. Writing Incomplete or Lowball Estimates
Initial estimates are often written to look “reasonable”, but they conveniently leave out:
• Structural damage
• Calibration procedures
• OEM-required repair steps

Those missing steps don’t magically disappear.
They just get delayed… or skipped.

👉 The truth: Modern vehicles require precise, documented repairs to protect you and your family.

3. Pressuring You to “Just Get It Done”
You might hear things like:
• “That’s not necessary”
• “We’ve never paid for that before”
• “It’ll take too long if we do it that way”

Translation?
They’re prioritizing speed and cost over safety and correctness.

👉 The truth: Your car should be repaired the way the manufacturer designed it. Not the way an insurance spreadsheet prefers.
