The Travelers Insurance Companies does not pay the prevailing autobody rate in the St. Louis market. That rate insures that repairers are fairly compensated for proper repairs. We are NO LONGER ACCEPTING any Travelers repairs. We would recommend AGAINST USING Travelers for any insurance needs.

If your vehicle experienced hail damage in the recent storms, check with a PDR (Paintless Dent Removal) company first to see if the dents can be removed that way. If the PDR shop says the dents cannot be removed and conventional repairs are required, we would then be happy to write an estimate. Most all insurance companies will first want to know if PDR is an option before paying for conventional repairs. Thanks.

We hope everybody made it home safe last Friday. If you did happen to have a fender bender we’re here to help. We can quickly return your car to pre-accident condition. Remember your insurance company cannot force you to use any particular repair facility. It is ALWAYS your right to choose a repair facility that works for you.

Always get an estimate from a professional. Photo app estimates routinely short change the claimant.

Consumers love taking photos of their cars with their smart devices, but they’re shortchanging themselves, so get to educating them!
