1. Waiting until a "better" time may actually COST you money.
The cost of labor and parts may increase, but your insurance company may not cover the additional cost.
2. If you don't repair your vehicle, you could be running the risk of driving an unsafe vehicle that may not sufficiently protect you.
The way vehicles are built now, it's sometimes very difficult to see hidden damage behind bumpers and other pieces of sheet metal. If you cash out now and then decide to fix your vehicle later, your insurance company will have closed your file and they may or may not pay if additional damage is discovered during the repair process.
3. Do you lease your vehicle?
If you don't repair your vehicle, when you turn it in your finance company will send you a bill for the repairs. And, their bill may be higher than your insurance company's estimate, which means you'll not only have to pay the bill, you'll be responsible for the difference too.
4. When you decide to trade in your car, the estimator will take your vehicle's accident damage into account which means its value may be significantly diminished.
5. If you're not at fault for the accident, you can file a claim with your own insurance company or with the insurance company who represents the motorist who hit you. If you file a claim through your insurance company, the other insurance company is responsible for reimbursing you for your deductible and paying for your rental car.
6. If you have questions about the issues raised in this article, please take the time to speak with your John Hine Estimator. He or she is ready to explain how extensive your vehicle's damage is and advise you on the best way to proceed.
7. The John Hine Collision Repair Center offers you its unique concierge service.
Our employees will help you through each stage of the repair process, freeing you to get on with your normal life.
