🛠️ Logan’s Shop Talk – Tip #3: The First Notice of Loss (FNOL)
After an accident, most people call their insurance company first. While that seems like the natural step, here’s something important to know: that first call often leads to a recommendation for one of their Direct Repair Program (DRP) shops.
Sounds convenient, right? But here is the catch, those shops often have agreements with the insurance company, and that can sometimes mean cutting corners or prioritizing cost over quality. At Payne & Sons, we believe you deserve better.
⚡ The truth: You have the legal right to choose any repair facility, and your insurance must honor it. Do not feel pressured to go with the “preferred” shop your insurer suggests. Your car, your choice.
At Payne & Sons, we put our customers and their vehicles first, not an insurance company contract. That means quality parts, careful repairs, and peace of mind that your car is restored the way it should be.
