- You are not required to take your vehicle to an insurance company's "drive in" claim service.
- Your insurance company must negotiate your claim, "in good faith". You are entitled to a prompt, fair settlement (in monetary value only**) paying for all damages to restore your vehicle to "pre-accident condition".
- To assist you and protect your investment, you may appoint your chosen repair shop your "Designated Representative", to negotiate and settle your claim with the insurance company. (Only as far as your motor vehicle is concerned.)
