Auto Insurance FAQs

Auto Insurance FAQs

Dealing with the stress of a collision is hard enough without trying to figure out how your accident insurance works. Here are some answers to frequently-asked questions about insurance policies.

Will the insurance company guarantee your work?

We guarantee our own work, but the insurance company does not have the legal right to guarantee a third party's work.

Who pays for repairs?

It depends on the circumstances. If you were at fault, but have comprehensive or collision insurance, the insurance company would pay the costs minus your deductible. If the other party was at fault, their insurance company should pay.

Do I have to accept the insurance company's appraisal of damage?

No. Check the "Appraisal Clause" in your policy if you have differences with their appraisal. It allows you and the insurance company to gather an opinion from an appraiser you both agree upon, or a third-party "Umpire" if you cannot agree.

Do I have the right to a rental car?

If you have purchased rental car coverage and were not responsible for the accident, you may seek reimbursement from the insurance company or, if another driver was responsible for the accident, their insurance company. If you do not have rental car coverage and were responsible for the accident, you have no grounds to ask for reimbursement. If the other driver was liable, you can generally seek reimbursement from their insurance company.

Who do I call to file a claim?

Reach out to your agent or insurance provider. If someone else is liable for your damages, it's essential to also get in touch with their insurance agent or company. The assigned adjuster will then guide you on any further necessary actions.

What does my policy require me to do after an accident?

Inform your insurance provider about the accident's details, including the time, location, and circumstances of the incident. Provide the names and addresses of individuals injured in the accident as well as any potential witnesses. Collaborate fully with the investigation process. Lastly, acquire or grant authorization for your insurance company to secure necessary documents, medical records, and relevant information.

Excellent service yet again. Had an A/C compressor fail only 2.5 years after installation. While technically out of warranty, they were able to replace it under warranty anyway!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Glenway Auto Center is honestly the best auto shop I have ever been to! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, honest, and reliable shop. Everyone there is friendly, helpful, and truly cares about their customers. I especially want to mention Phil. He is such a nice person and made me feel really welcome and comfortable from the moment I walked in. He took the time to explain everything to me and made sure I understood what was going on with my car. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping people. I’m so thankful I found Glenway Auto Center and will definitely continue taking my car there. Thank you to Phil and the entire team for treating me so well! ❤️
