FOR OUR CUSTOMERS
Know Your Rights Before You Repair Your Vehicle
CUSTOMER BILL OF RIGHTS
In accordance with the Automotive Repair Act of 1971, A customer shall receive:
- A written estimate for repair work. 
- A detailed invoice of work done and parts supplied.
- Return of replaced parts, if requested at the time a work order is placed. 
Questions concerning the above information should be directed to the manager of the repair facility. 

Can an Insurer require, direct, suggest or recommend that your automobile be repaired at a specific shop?
NO - Unless the referral is expressly requested by you; or you have been informed in writing of the right to select the repair facility;  and The insurer that elects to repair a vehicle directs, suggests or recommends that a specific repair shop be used, shall cause the damaged vehicle to be restored to its condition prior to the loss at no additional cost to you other than as stated in the policy or as otherwise allowed by law.

Do I have the right to take my car to the shop of my choice?
YES - You may select the repair facility of your choice!

Should my insurance company be notified before repairs?
Yes - your insurance policy generally states that, if requested, you must file a sworn proof of loss, exhibit the damaged property, and submit to examination under oath. 

Do I need to contact more than one shop for an estimate?
No - Generally, one estimate from the shop of your choice is required, unless your insurance policy specifies otherwise.

Am I responsible for the cost of repairs?
Yes - You are usually responsible to the repair facility for payment of repairs unless your insurance policy specifies otherwise. Ordinarily, if you are insured, your insurance policy states that the insurance company will pay you for the loss, less any applicable deductibles or depreciation. Any arrangements for payments by your insurance company are your responsibility. 

Is the repair facility responsible for the repairs performed on my car?
Yes - The Automobile Repair Act of 1971 requires all repair dealers to be registered with the State of Nebraska and to post a sign. This Act [Section 9884.7(1)(g)] states that the Department of Consumer Affairs may invalidate the registration of the repair dealer for a number of causes, including: 
-making any statement written or oral which is untrue or misleading; 
-causing a customer to sign any work order which is untrue or misleading; failing or refusing to give to a customer a copy of any document requiring his or her signature, as soon as the customer signs such document;
-any other conduct which constitutes fraud;
-any willful departure from or disregard of accepted trade standards for good and workman like repair. 

If I am having difficulties with my insurance company, do I have recourse?
Yes - First consult with your insurance agent or broker. Then, if your problems still have not been resolved, consult with the Department of Insurance, State of Nebraska, at their office in Lincoln, or telephone their toll free line: (877) 564-7323

If my insurance company does not agree with the amount of loss, do I have recourse other than the State of Nebraska Department of Insurance?
Yes - Your insurance policy may provide that, when the insured and insurer fail to agree on the amount of loss, both parties are entitled to arbitration. 

Can my insurer require me to use non-original equipment manufacturer (non-OEM) replacement crash parts for the repair of my car?
No - No insurer shall require the use of non-OEM replacement crash parts in the repair of an automobile unless:  The parts are at least equal to the original equipment manufacturer parts in terms of quality, safety, fit and performance; and Insurers specifying the use of non-OEM replacement crash parts shall pay the cost of any modifications to the parts which may become necessary to effect the repair; and Insurers specifying the use of non-OEM replacement crash parts warrant that all such parts are of like kind, quality, safety, fit and performance as OEM replacement crash parts. 
EVERY REPAIR COMES WITH A
LIFETIME WARRANTY.
We guarantee your repairs for as long as you own your vehicle. You’ll receive this in writing at the same time we hand you the keys to your repaired vehicle.
