Why we’re not on your insurance list.

3 Reasons why Sichel’s Autobody is not on your insurance companies  “list”:

  1. Being on contract with an insurance company means that the bodyshop MUST work under that company’s “guidelines”. Given the fact that Insurance companies are profit driven , and intend to save money at all costs, this means that the shop must do repairs to “save money”…using aftermarket parts, remanufactured, and used parts. Cutting labor times, repairing panels that need replacing….etc. The list goes on and on.
  2. We want you back!! As a rule, a lot of customers who go to the shop on the insurance company’s “list” tell us they would not go back. The reason for that is because of reason #1 on this list. If you can’t feel good about the work you’re doing, how do you expect the customer to? We don’t spend lots of $$ on advertising, our work, business ethics, and customer service MUST be top of the line or we don’t stay in business….period.
  3. Insurers will tell you that they will only guarantee the work performed by the shop on their “list”. Does this make sense? It would be like saying: Fred is paying to fix my car at ABC Auto. Fred guarantees that those repairs will be done correctly. Why is Fred guaranteeing the repairs? Did he do the work on the car? Did he match the color or apply the clearcoat? The answer is no. Don’t you think that ABC Auto should guarantee it? At Sichels Autobody WE guarantee ALL of our work for as long as you own your vehicle.
