CONFUSED?
You care about your car, insurance companies don’t. This scam warning is also known as the “Secret Deal”.
First, and of the utmost importance, at Skrip's Auto Body, our commitment is to our customers – not to an auto insurance company. We promise to repair vehicles correctly and assist you in the entire claims process, front-to-back, if that's the level of service you desire!
At Skrip's – it's all about you, our customer.
Don't be influenced or intimidated by your Insurance Company; have your vehicle repaired at a repair shop of your choice. Connecticut law is clear – it's your car, it's your choice on where to have it repaired, NOT the Insurance Companies. Naturally, we hope you choose Skrip's Auto Body – where we've been "makin-'em straight since '78", right here in Prospect, on Rt. 68.
WHAT'S "THE SECRET DEAL" YOU ASK?
Picture this: Your car gets damaged (car accident, garage door, shopping cart, acorn nut attack – whatever) and the repairs look expensive, so you call your insurance company and submit a claim.
Your friendly insurance claims representative takes your information than STRONGLY suggests you bring your damaged car to their preferred auto body repair shop. They try to entice you by saying the repairs would go more quickly and smoothly by using their preferred body shop.
They might even state they would even guarantee the repairs – what a great deal you think to yourself. Then you begin to wonder...Hmm. Why do "They" prefer one shop over another?
SOUND FAMILIAR? BEEN HERE BEFORE?
Well, I've got news for you - That great deal of quick service and guaranteed repairs is The Secret Deal – it's the Secret Deal auto insurers make with certain auto body shops. It's an offer you can and should refuse.
