I got in a small fender bender the other day and my insurance is recommending caliber collision in college station. Any thoughts or preferences to a different shop?

Thanks everyone! I just want to make sure I'm not getting sent to somewhere horrible, some of the Yelp reviews were making me nervous.
Your insurance is "sending you" to the place that has negotiated the lowest rates for them in some fashion. That's why you should go somewhere else and exercise your right to do so. You own the car, not the insurance company.Brennan01 said:

This is right and wrong. It has nothing to do with lowest rates, but you do have the right to choose any shop you want.AgResearch said:Your insurance is "sending you" to the place that has negotiated the lowest rates for them in some fashion.

doug quoted me 15k to paint my car last year. I would rather people just say "i dont want to do it" instead of giving me the i dont want to do it price lol
To follow autoboard rules, we need year/make/model/mileage of your vehicle. Photos would be good too.Donny Hall said:

Ive spent $6800 with doug on various other things, and will continue to do so when reasonable, Im just being honest.chickencoupe16 said:Donny Hall said:

If my experience with Classic Collision holds true, then it would have been done correctly and quickly. Most of the time you get to choose 2 of the following 3, but not all 3: quick, cheap, correct. Most people don't care about the cost when insurance is footing the bill anyway.
Maybe that was how much it cost to do it right and you got a cut rate quote from other shops. Maybe there was a rash of fender benders and the demand was high causing the price to be high. Ultimately, he did want to do it, just at 15K.
In any case, it seems a little distasteful for staff member with a tagged staff account to post this about a long time, well respected, paying customer.
