Know Your Rights

Your Insurance Doesn’t Choose Your Body Shop. You Do.

After an accident, your insurance company may recommend a repair facility. That recommendation is not a requirement.

You have the legal right to choose where your vehicle is repaired. Choosing a certified collision center ensures your vehicle is repaired to manufacturer standards — not just insurance minimums.

Bottom Line: Insurance recommends. You decide. Choose certified. Choose Yokem.

Why It Matters

Not All Repairs Are Equal

Modern vehicles are engineered with advanced safety systems, structural materials, and electronics. Improper repairs don’t just look wrong — they can put you at risk.

Today’s Vehicles Demand Today’s Standards.

01

Safety Systems

Modern vehicles require proper calibration of cameras, sensors, and ADAS after a collision.

02

Structural Integrity

Improper repairs can compromise crash protection and the engineered crumple zones designed to save lives.

03

Warranty Protection

Non-certified repairs can impact your manufacturer warranty. Certified repairs keep it intact.

04

Resale Value

Documented certified repairs protect your vehicle’s long-term value when it’s time to sell or trade.

Common Questions

Know Your Rights After An Accident.

Do I have to use the body shop my insurance recommends?
No. You have the legal right to choose where your vehicle is repaired. Insurance companies may suggest a “preferred” or “direct repair” shop, but that recommendation is not a requirement. The decision is yours.
What does “factory certified” actually mean?
Factory certification means our technicians have completed manufacturer-approved training and our facility meets the equipment, tooling, and procedural standards required to repair vehicles to OEM specifications. Not every body shop holds these certifications.
Will using a certified shop affect my insurance claim?
No. Your insurance is required to honor your choice of repair facility. We work directly with all major carriers to handle estimates, supplements, and approvals on your behalf.
Why does certification matter for my vehicle’s safety?
Modern vehicles use advanced materials, structural designs, and ADAS technology (cameras, sensors, automatic braking). Improper repairs can compromise crash protection and disable safety systems you may not even notice are misaligned.
How long will my repair take?
Repair times depend on the extent of damage, parts availability, and insurance approvals. After your estimate, we’ll provide a clear timeline and keep you updated throughout the process.
