Points To Remember When Selecting Auto Body Shops In El Paso TX

By Joanna Walsh


When a vehicle is damaged due to an accident, an auto body service may be able to restore it. It's important to understand that not all of these businesses are equal in terms of dependability, and quality so it is necessary to do some research to ensure that one will be getting efficient, hassle-free service. When comparing auto body shops in El Paso TX the customer should keep the following guidelines in mind.

The Internet is a very useful tool when it comes to searching for reviews of a particular auto body shop one is considering doing business with. There are numerous sites where customers can post reviews of services in any category, as well as forums pertaining to the specific make and model of the car, where owners may name local services they were pleased with. Detailed reviews should be given more weight than angry, one-line comments.

Any reputable business should offer a warranty as proof that they stand behind the repairs they do. A potential customer should request to see a copy of the warranty prior to accepting the shop's services. Although a "lifetime" warranty may sound great, such coverage is usually full of exclusions and it is more reasonable to be given a one, two, and three-year warranty for parts, body work, and paint respectively.

It is also important to not overlook any manufacturer's warranty the customer may have for the car. The stipulations of this warranty in terms of the repairs done, and parts used must be followed, otherwise it may be voided. Some manufacturers may not authorize the use of aftermarket or used parts in their vehicles, so it is wise to always opt for original parts.

It is the customer's right to be picky when it comes to the operation, safety, and appearance of their vehicle. There is nothing inappropriate about insisting that only new, factory-original parts be used for the repair. State laws vary where the use of used and aftermarket parts is concerned, so it's advisable to find out what these are specifically upfront.

The most effective way to locate the shop that is most likely to provide a positive repair experience is to visit several of them and get a price estimate and detailed explanation of the repairs. With the quote from the previous other or others the customer can then directly compare prices with the competition and ask these companies about any differences there may be.

Choosing a shop which specializes in the specific make of vehicle is recommended whenever possible since they offer more expertise in this area. The shop should also be tidy, well-organized, and have modern equipment. Customers should also find out how long they have been in business, and make note of how helpful and friendly the staff are, and if there are any awards for excellent service on display.

Finally, it is essential to get all details regarding the degree of coverage or extent of the repairs in writing from the auto body shop or insurance provider. In order to be considered official and binding, this information must be stated in writing.
