Your Accident, Your Choice: Why GAR AUTO BODY is Malden’s Trusted Collision Repair Expert
A car accident is stressful enough without the headache of insurance claims and vehicle repairs. For drivers in Malden, MA, the first question after ensuring everyone is safe is usually: “Where do I get my car fixed, and how do I handle the insurance company?”
The good news? The choice is always yours. At GAR AUTO BODY, we believe you deserve the best collision repair service, and we handle the complex process to make your recovery as simple as possible.
Your Massachusetts Right to Choose Your Collision Center
This is the most critical piece of information every Massachusetts driver needs to know: You have the absolute right to select the registered collision repair shop of your choice.
Insurance companies often use what are called “Direct Repair Programs” (DRPs) and may try to steer you toward one of their “preferred” shops. While this can seem convenient, these shops often prioritize the insurance company’s bottom line over your vehicle’s safety and quality of repair.
In Massachusetts, insurance steering is illegal. At GAR AUTO BODY in Malden, we are an independent, fully licensed shop, and we work with all major insurance carriers. Our focus is on restoring your vehicle to its pre-accident condition using precise, high-quality techniques and parts—not cutting corners to satisfy an adjuster.
The GAR AUTO BODY Stress-Free Claim Process
We take the burden of the insurance claim off your shoulders. Here is how we ensure a smooth, worry-free experience for our Malden customers:
1. We Handle the Negotiation
Insurance companies are legally required to pay the fair and reasonable cost to restore your car. We have expert licensed appraisers on staff who will:
- Perform a thorough, detailed inspection of your damage.
- Prepare a comprehensive estimate based on Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) repair procedures.
- Negotiate directly with your insurance adjuster to ensure your vehicle gets the repair it truly needs, not just the cheapest fix.
You never have to be the middleman.
2. Guaranteed Repair Quality
Choosing a shop outside a DRP network means the repair is focused on you—the customer—not the insurer. At GAR AUTO BODY, we offer:
- Precision Laser Frame Alignment: Modern collision repair is about structural integrity. We use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure your vehicle’s frame is restored to factory specifications, which is essential for safety.
- Expert Color Matching & Painting: Our professional automotive painting services ensure your new paint matches perfectly, making the damage truly disappear.
- A 5-Year Warranty on Collision Repair: We stand behind every repair we perform, giving you total peace of mind long after you drive away.
