should I get my car repaired by the insurance company perferred auto repair or a company that I usually go to?

The insurance company said that I have a choice between picking the insurance company to repair my car or taking it to a auto shop of my choice and letting them fix it and the insurance company will take car of it.

I dont know what to do. Should I take it to my insurance company auto shop or to my auto shop I usually go to get repairs? I’m thinking the insurance company will try to pay the least amount to fix my car and will not do quality work… I don’t know.. I’m confused on this.

if you go to yours you are the one hiring to do the job if you go to the ins company one they will be in charge and the shop will not listen to what you have to say

Talk to both and see what kind of feeling you get. Is their shop clean. Do they have a lot of unfixed cars sitting around. Are the employees working or just milling around.
These are a few things to check out. Then you can make an informed decision.

If you already have a repair shop that you’re happy with, take it there. It is true that most "preferred shops" will allow the insurance company to tell them what parts to use (usually the cheapest quality possible) instead of doing it correctly.

Hi there man. This would really depend on your car insurance company. I think insurance companies will refer you to auto repair shops that are affiliated or accredited with them.
