Estimates
Free Estimates
We do not charge to write an estimate.
Multiple estimates
Many years ago people involved in accidents were asked to get three
estimates and turn them into the insurance company. It is not
necessary for you to get more than one estimate and
you may choose the repair facility you want to repair your vehicle..
Estimates are not final repair bills
Many insurance companies request that the auto
body repair facility
write an INITIAL ESTIMATE based on visual damage only. After disassembly
and during the repair process additional damage is frequently found.
Drivable vehicles
If your vehicle is safe to drive after an accident please give Lovetts a
call at 602-264-6808 and we will be happy to schedule an estimate.
Non-drivable vehicles
If your vehicle is not drivable and it is in an impound lot or tow
yard please give the impound lot or tow yard a call to authorize them
to release your vehicle. After you have authorized release of your vehicle
please give us a call and we will be happy to arrange for your vehicle
to be towed to Lovetts. You may also request that the
towing company or police at the scene of the accident have your vehicle
towed directly to Lovetts.
If you already have an estimate
Please bring the estimate with you to Lovetts.
Some insurance companies will assign an appraiser and write their
own estimate. If you have an estimate from the insurance company paying
for your repairs it is not necessary for Lovetts to write
an additional estimate. We will work from their estimate and if we find
additional damage during the repair process we will contact them to adjust
their INITIAL ESTIMATE
If you don’t have an estimate
If we have an agreement with the insurance company paying for the
repairs we are able to expedite the repair process by writing the
INITIAL ESTIMATE based on visual damage and proceeding with the
repair process. If we find additional damage after we disassemble the
vehicle this additional or supplemental damage will be added to the initial
estimate and your insurance company will be informed.
If you are unsure as to whether you want to turn the claim in
or pay out of pocket
Please inform us that you are not sure whether you want to turn
the claim in before we write the estimate. We need to know so we don’t
upload your estimate which will begin the insurance claims process while
you are still undecided about whether to turn the claim in to your insurance
company.
