Take my advice, if you are a tech. don’t fix the car until insurance company pay what is right. Or if you work for a body shop that bent over for insurance company GET OUT. ***** the insurance company, without the technicians they can fix cars.

Most body shops are forced in to being a DRP. This could be of many reasons and one would be lack of quality management of the shop. True, the shop is to blame for allowing such repairs to flow through their shop, BUT, the insurance companies are ONLY out to save themselves money. The insurance adjusters do what they can for their paycheck, but still, if insurance companies are allowed to say what can be fixed, with what and how, then there will always be fraudulent repairs.

this is a comment on the comment from trxo.
your comment is bull—-. it is the drp shop and the insurance co’s fault. the shop that is a drp is so weak and lacking charcter that they will do anything to get the job anything!do right educuate the consumer repair the cars right. work for the customer -not the insurance company!the adjusters don’t know how to wright an estimate & repair a car or they are too afraid of loosing their job to do what is right. n-wide & progerssive are the worst.

sorry, but this is bullshit, most of the time the DRP SHOP is not to blame. The insurance companies refuse to pay the bill and therein lies the problem. Insurance adjusters write their own estimates and 9 times out of 10, they have never worked on a car in their lives. Progressive is the worst.
