Do I Have to Use My Insurance Company's Body Shop in Brentwood?

Short answer: the choice is yours

After an accident, Mashore Autobody hears one question more than any other: do I have to take my car where my insurance company says? The choice of shop is yours.

Your insurer may suggest a shop, and some shops are contracted with insurance companies. We are not contracted with any of them, on purpose. When a shop is contracted with an insurer, the insurer becomes its customer. We want you to be ours.

What happens to your claim

Choosing us does not change how your claim works. We work with every insurance company and send your claim to yours for you.

How to compare shops

Get a written estimate from any shop you are considering. Bring it to us, and we will tell you honestly how ours compares.

Not sure where to begin after an accident? Our after-an-accident checklist walks through the first steps.
