We will give you the list of registered repair shops in other counties at your request. We do not guarantee the quality of repairs performed by shops other than referral shops, but a registered shop has posted a bond for the protection of its judgment creditors and may provide you with its own warranty. We will negotiate with a registered repair shop, but we cannot promise to pay the difference between our check, plus your deductible, and the amount the shop charges to repair your auto. We will guarantee the quality of repairs done by a Referral Shop, although you may go to any shop on this list. The referral shops on this list have agreed with us to perform the repair work listed on our appraisal for the amount we pay you plus that part of the damage for which you are responsible (your deductible plus any applicable betterment). Quincy Mutual referral shops are identified on the list by bold type with an asterisk. An insurance company cannot pay for any repair work done by an illegal unregistered shop. Massachusetts law requires that all repair shops be registered. However, rental companies add on fees and sales tax, which increases the cost to $35.00 to $40.00 a day.Quincy Mutual Group REGISTERED AUTO REPAIR SHOPS FOR ESSEX COUNTY This list contains the name of every registered auto body repair shop in your county. In most cases, $30.00 a day will get you a reasonable rental vehicle. So what is the best way to protect our customers when they actually have a loss? Add rental to their policy. This results in upset customers, which is something none of us want! Some carriers will not begin their investigation until their insured reports the loss, which can complicate the problem if there is a delay with the repairs. Many carriers insist that they will only talk to the customer directly, making what was once a simple task much more difficult. Oftentimes, you or your insured will call our office and ask for assistance in setting up a rental authorization with another carrier or to assist in extending the length of rental. We’ve heard that four tires and a steering wheel are good enough! The hassle involved with getting a rental is the last thing your customers need to deal with after an accident, especially when they are not at fault. Some carriers have a very strict daily rate as low as $24.00 a day no matter what type of vehicle your customer was driving. Otherwise, they will not authorize a direct bill. Some carriers insist that your insured make a third party property damage claim. While the laws have not changed, the way in which many carriers now handle your customer’s rental claims sure has. But when it does happen everyone needs a rental! Suddenly, saving a few bucks isn’t such a smart idea. No one ever thinks they are going to need a rental vehicle. No one ever expects to be in an accident. Rental Car Realities – Quincy Mutual Article
