Do I have to use the shop my insurer recommends?
No. In Texas the vehicle owner chooses the repair shop. Your insurer can suggest one, but the decision is yours at any point.

Your rights
You Choose the Shop, and We Work the Claim
When you report a crash, your insurer may point you toward a shop it works with. You're not required to use it. Texas law leaves the choice of repair shop to the vehicle owner, at any point in the claim.
When you choose us, we become the point of contact for the repair side of your claim. We send the estimate and photos, talk with the adjuster, request re-inspections when needed and file supplements when teardown finds damage nobody could see at first.
We can't promise what an insurer will approve, but we can make sure the request is complete, documented and based on how the manufacturer says the car should be fixed.
How Your Claim and Repair Move Together
Six steps, in order. We'll tell you which one you're on, and we'll be the ones chasing the insurer, not you.

Tell us what happened, who the insurers are and where the car is. We arrange an inspection or a tow.

We inspect and photograph
Every damaged area is documented so the estimate starts with evidence.
- 3
We write the estimate
Built from the maker's repair procedures and sent to the adjuster with the photos.
- 4
We open it up
Teardown reveals hidden damage. We document it and file a supplement before going further.

Structure, panels and paint, followed by any calibrations the maker requires.
- 6
We close it out
Final scan and road test, then we walk you through the repair and the paperwork.
Why McLendon-Chisholm Drivers Let Us Take the Lead
Most people only deal with a collision claim once every few years. We deal with them every week. That experience is what we put on your side.
We know what to document
Insurers approve what they can see. Clear photos, measurements and procedure references make the repair easier to justify.
Supplements are routine for us
Hidden damage is common. We expect it, document it and submit it promptly so the repair doesn't stall.
The maker's procedures come first
If a step is required for safety or fit, it belongs in the estimate. We include it and explain why.
You stay informed, not overloaded
We send updates when something changes and keep the back-and-forth with the adjuster off your to-do list.
Driving in and Around McLendon-Chisholm
McLendon-Chisholm has grown from farmland into neighborhoods, and the roads are catching up. SH 205 carries steady traffic north to Rockwall and south toward Forney and US 80, with turning traffic and new intersections that see their share of side impacts and rear-end bumps. FM 550 and FM 548 link to Fate and I-30, and construction traffic on newer roads brings rock chips and scraped bumpers.
Like the rest of Rockwall County, the town gets spring hail, sometimes more than once, and summer sun that's hard on clear coat. Hail claims in particular can involve a lot of back-and-forth about which panels can be repaired and which need replacing.
That's exactly where we help: we look at the car carefully, document what we find and present the repair to your insurer in a way that's complete and easy to approve.
Supplements
Why the First Estimate Is Rarely the Last
An estimate written from the outside of a car can only include what's visible. Once a bumper cover or door panel comes off, there's often more: a cracked absorber, a bent bracket, a broken sensor mount. That's normal, and it's why supplements exist.
When we find hidden damage, we stop, photograph it, write up the additional repair and send it to the insurer for approval. You get a call explaining what we found. The repair continues once it's approved, so nothing is skipped and nothing is added without a record.

Ask about your town — (000) 000-0000Claim and Repair Questions
Short answers. For anything else, call (000) 000-0000.
Will you talk to the adjuster for me?
Yes. We send the estimate and photos, answer the adjuster's questions and follow up on approvals. You'll get updates when anything changes.
What's a supplement?
An addition to the estimate for damage found once the car is apart. We document it with photos and submit it for approval before doing the work.
Can you promise what my insurer will pay?
No shop can. What we can do is submit a complete, well-documented estimate based on the maker's repair procedures.
What if the other driver was at fault?
We can work with the other driver's insurer or yours. Call us with both claim numbers if you have them and we'll sort out the next step.
Should I file a claim for a small dent?
It depends on your deductible and the repair. Once we've seen the car, we'll give you a realistic picture so you can decide.
How do I get an estimate?
Call (000) 000-0000 and we'll set a time to inspect the car in person. Photos can't show what's behind the panels.
Which parts will be used?
That depends on your policy and the repair. We'll tell you whether parts are new from the maker, aftermarket or recycled before they're installed.
My car can't be driven. What now?
Call from the scene or the tow yard. We'll arrange the tow and start the claim paperwork that day.
How long will the repair take?
It depends on the damage, parts and approvals. You'll get a realistic estimate up front and a call if anything changes it.
Dealing With a Claim Right Now?
Tell us what happened, where the car is and who the insurers are. We'll explain the next steps and start the paperwork with you. No pressure to decide on the call.
