Effective January 1, 2004, SB551: SECTION 1. Section 758.5 of the California State Insurance Code states... "...an
insurance company may not suggest or recommend that your vehicle be
repaired at a specific automotive repair dealer unless a referral has
been expressly requested; and the claimant has been informed in writing
of the right to select the repair dealer of their choice. Once a
claimant has specified a repair dealer to repair their vehicle an
insurance company may not suggest or recommend that the claimant select
a different automotive repair dealer...."
Your
insurance carrier is also required to provide you with this notice in
writing at the time they assess your vehicle’s damage.
Insurance companies may offer you repair facilities other than
Sonshine Auto Body
because Sonshine Auto Body is not currently involved in their direct repair program.
They may say to you that if you do not use one of the shops on their program
they will not guarantee the repairs. However, insurance companies do not repair cars.
A guarantee for
repairs for as long as you own your vehicle is what you should look for in a quality and
reputable repair shop.
Our responsibility is to you, our customer. This has been Sonshine Collision's policy since 1984.
We at Sonshine Collision offer a Lifetime Guarantee for as
long as you own the vehicle. Since 1984, Sonshine Collision has been the High Desert's choice for unsurpassed quality
repairs and service.
