When you are getting your car, truck, or RV repaired by an auto body repair specialist, it’s important to communicate. If you are unsure how to talk to your mechanic, technician, or auto body expert, these questions are sure to help you get started:
Will you work with my insurance company?
Most insurance companies will offer you a couple of suggestions for auto body repair, but what they don’t tell you is that you can really take your car anywhere you’d like. When researching dependable, reputable, and experienced shops, keep your insurance in mind. Whether the insurance company will work well with your repair is largely up to the communication and effort put forth by the repair shop staff.
How long will my repairs take?
Tell your specialist if you have certain time constraints, such as a rental insurance policy for only a limited amount of days, or if you will be out of town anytime during the repair.
What kind of parts will you be using to replace damaged parts on my vehicle?
During repair, mechanics can install used parts, aftermarket parts, or OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts. Understanding the difference between these parts and asking your repair shop why they use certain kinds of parts will give you confidence in the quality of your repairs. Parts differ in price and availability.

What is the cost estimate?
Ask for an itemized estimate, explaining the costs of parts, labor, service, and fees. Understand what you will be paying directly and what your insurance company is being billed.

Commercial trucks must operate safely in order to protect everyone on the road. That’s why it’s important to have your commercial truck repairs and service at a reputable shop. Here are some general dos and don’ts to keep in mind the next time you take your commercial truck in for service, maintenance, body work, or collision repair:
Do:
- Work with a widely trusted, well-reviewed, reputable auto body shop with lots of experience specializing in commercial truck repair.
- Communicate! Ask questions, and don’t be afraid to ask for more information or for a detailed explanation of the problem and necessary repairs. Take notes if you need to. It’s important to understand your repair as fully as possible so you can implement any important changes into future maintenance.
- Ask for a written estimate of the costs associated with your body work and repair before getting the work done. The estimate should be itemized and explain parts, labor, and fees.
Don’t:
- Try to repair your truck yourself. While DIY auto work is (sometimes) possible with smaller vehicles, commercial trucks are intricate. Thorough knowledge that comes from years of training and experience is required for commercial truck repair.
- Attempt to save money by working with a cheap, shady repair business. Quality auto repair is important in order to avoid future safety issues. Safety is particularly important when you’re driving a commercial truck that can impact the lives of others on the road in serious ways, too.
- Fail to do your homework. By choosing the first body shop your insurance or employer recommends without examining your options, it could be at the cost of your time, money, quality, and even safety.
