Bring the car or send photos. No appointment, no obligation.
Direct billing, supplements, and approvals coordinated with your insurer. You bring the car; we handle the paperwork.
Insurance claims add stress to an already bad day. We handle them for you end-to-end: direct billing with every major carrier, photos and supplements coordinated with the adjuster, paperwork done by us. You bring the car. You don’t have to chase anything.
Before any of that, there’s something worth knowing about how this works in Michigan: you have the right to choose your own body shop, regardless of what your insurance company recommends. We explain how below.
Bring the car or send photos. No appointment, no obligation.
We submit the estimate and coordinate with the adjuster directly.
If the insurance estimate misses damage, we document it and get the additional work approved.
OEM parts default. Factory paint matching. Structural inspection.
We hand back the car, the paperwork, and the lifetime warranty.
In Michigan, the customer chooses the body shop, not the insurance company. Insurers can recommend a “preferred” or “direct-repair” shop, but the law gives you the final say. You can take your car to any licensed body shop you trust, and your insurer is obligated to work with that shop on the claim. At Autometric, we handle the carrier communication for you – estimates, supplements, approvals – so exercising that right doesn’t add work to your plate.
Don’t see your carrier? We work with every major US insurer – reach out and we’ll confirm the coordination details for your specific policy.
No. In Michigan, you choose the shop that repairs your car, not your insurer. Your insurance can recommend a "preferred" or "direct-repair" shop, but they can't require you to use one.
We work with every major carrier. They pay us directly and we handle the paperwork, photos, and supplements on your behalf.
Not directly because of which shop you use. Whether a claim raises your rates depends on fault, your policy, and your carrier's underwriting. Call your agent if you're unsure.
We can help you decide whether to file or pay out of pocket once we've estimated the damage. For small repairs that fall under your deductible, paying directly often makes more sense than filing.
Send photos when you're ready. We'll handle the rest.
