No – Illinois law grants vehicle owners the right to select their own repair shop for vehicle repairs. You can choose your own body shop and do not need to take your car to the place your insurance company recommends. This is also documented here by the Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS).
Yes! Things that seem like minor damage may cause greater issues if they aren’t addressed. For example, if you have a slight fender bender or and have any sheet metal damage, this can ultimately lead to rust. Rust is a much more expensive problem to fix, can spread through the piece of metal, and decrease your cars resale value. In other cases, you may also have slight suspension issues, like alignment, that can cause irregular wear on the car as you use it.
