WRECK CHECK CAR SCAN CENTERS LLC

Each year the price of new vehicles increases, and even with a four-year-old vehicle wrecked in an accident, we are talking about a LARGE ASSET value at stake in the collision repair process. There is a lot one can do to safeguard the value of your damaged car, and there is a lot one can do to fight for a cash award when that large asset suffers a big reduction in value in an auto accident. Thus, we felt that this is a service you should consider hiring as soon as practicable.

The purpose of this page is to suggest that in many auto accidents involving vehicles with a high actual cash value and/or extensive damage it is essential to hire an expert in auto collision repair procedures and insurance adjuster negotiations FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF GETTING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AND RESTORED to pre-accident condition. We do not wish to scare any readers with this list of things that can go wrong in the collision repair and insurance payment process. But there is so much at stake these days, we must alert victims of a car wreck about the potential problems that await them in the auto body repair process. Many of these issues were are discussed in our Auto Accident Collision Repair Shops & Insurance Adjuster Relationships Explained.

What we want to do now is to see if it would pay you to hire an expert in auto body shop and insurance repair negotiations. Just twenty years ago, it would have been highly unusual to suggest that someone with car wreck damage needed an expert to help him go through the process of getting his vehicle repaired and restored to pre-accident condition.

What has changed? Three things: (1) vehicles are a lot more complex and the collision repair processes have also become more complex; (2) the insurance industry has found ever-more aggressive ways to avoid its responsibilities (i.e. use of imitation parts, cozy designated-shop relationships, etc.); and (3) vehicles have become a lot more expensive, so the amount at risk is easily triple what it was twenty years ago.

Think about how silly it is to expect the consumer---someone who makes a living in an office environment---to be able to understand the collision repair business and the tricks of the insurance industry. But that is what we all seem to do. Hardly anyone you know has ever hired an expert to help with supervising the repair of their vehicle after it has been wrecked. It seems that those reassuring insurance ads that run on our media have lulled us into believing that insurance companies really are our "good neighbors" and we truly are "in good hands".

WAKE UP! The insurance industry is not the wealthiest in America because it paid out on its obligations fairly. They are going to make 60 BILLION dollars in profit in 2006! That is up from 50 billion dollars the year before. No, the insurance industry is among the most anti-consumer institutions in our country. They have developed some sharp practices that cut the victims of auto accidents out of the quality repairs to which they are entitled. Hence, the necessity of hiring an expert to deal with the repairs of what has become the largest personal property asset of most people: their vehicle.
