Know Your Rights: As a consumer in California, you have the legal right to choose any body shop you want to handle your repairs. At Cline Collision Center, we understand the importance of these rights and go above and beyond to ensure you choose our shop with confidence. The California Motorists Bill of Rights outlines crucial rights and regulations for consumers who are doing business with an auto body repair facility. In California, you have the right to choose the repair facility of your choice, unless your insurance policy specifies otherwise. It’s important to notify your insurance company before proceeding with repairs. Contrary to popular belief, you’re not obligated to contact multiple shops for repair estimates. As the vehicle’s owner, you’re generally responsible for paying the repair costs directly to the chosen repair facility, unless otherwise specified by your insurance policy. The Automobile Repair Act of 1971 establishes that all repair dealers in California must be registered with the state, display a sign, and adhere to specific standards. Whether you need extensive collision damage repair or a minor fix, we’re here to assist you. For questions or concerns about your vehicle, or to schedule an appointment contact us today at (707) 591-9909.
