Honda Unveils a Doggone Good Concept Car
There is no question
that Japanese auto manufacturer, Honda does a lot of things right.
To appreciate an example of its savvy, one has to look no further than Hondas’s
recent announcement to include government crash safety ratings on window
stickers of its 2006 model cars. This accomplishment, the first of its
kind, allows shoppers to make more informed choices about the safety of cars
they are considering for purchase. While outside-the-box thinking is not a new thing for the creative geniuses at Honda, it was recently taken to a new level when designers created a vehicle from a dog’s point of view. Yes, you read it correctly. In keeping with the company's forward thinking, designers at Honda also included a means of keeping pets safe during accidents...>>>

bacteria-ridden cars to repair accident damage to your car. Should you

protect yourself. ...>>>

Flaws, Fraud, and Limited Freedom: The Truth About DRPs
Now days, there are
almost as many direct repair provider (DRP) shops being recommended by insurers
as there are truly independent non-networked collision repair shops.
Should you heed your insurer's advice and allow one of the DRP shops in your
neighborhood to repair your car or truck, or should you steer clear of your
insurer's recommendation and choose a shop on your own? In this article,
you will learn just how slim your chances really are of getting a good repair in
either type shop, and in which environment J.D. Powers and Associates found the
most satisfaction in its 2003 Collision Repair Satisfaction Index Study ...>>>

Air Bag Fraud on the Rise in the Tri-states of OH, KY & WV
When expensive air bags deploy in an
auto accident, consumers should have body shops replace them with new original
equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. But, more and more, consumers are
opting to save money by utilizing replacement air bags retrieved from salvage

Diminished Value on Auto Windshields and Glass? You Betcha!
Glass is among the most critical
components installed on an auto. Because of its structural significance and
other important features, security and visibility among those, use of genuine
replacement parts and original manufacturer's approved installation procedures
are paramount in achieving an acceptable repair - one that restores the safety,
function, appearance and durability of the auto. Improper installations,
inadequate parts, and unapproved or faulty materials can cause diminished value
and render a vehicle unsafe to drive. Learn more about glass related DV in this
article written by WreckCheck founder, Jim Lynas.

Insurers Object to Full Disclosure of DRP Agreements and Contracts
When insurers recommend that consumers patron specific
collision repair shops to have work performed on their autos, often, they have
an ulterior motive in mind – saving money. The shop’s conduct towards
steered consumers, in many cases, is governed by clauses in their direct-repair
contracts and/or agreements with insurers, and many times these clauses are
detrimental to consumers, limiting repairs and payments to which consumers would
otherwise be ...>>>

Is there Good Hope for Fair Auto Insurance Settlements?
Settling insurance claims using a combination of repairs and
cash (DV) isn’t new thinking. The concept has been around since long before
college educated bean counters arrived on the insurance scene to squeeze repair
shops and deprive claimants of fair settlements. In this article, we provide an
overview of an 1840 lawsuit heard by the Massachusetts’ Supreme Court that
supports full indemnity for an insured, despite the fact that only partial
repairs were made to the property ...>>>

Diminished Value
Safe Collision Repair Statistics Show Average DV is $6,537.42
The amount of Diminished Value is driven upward by a number of factors - the value of the car, amount of damage sustained, value of voided warranties, and the inability to ever again qualify the vehicle in manufacturer preowned certification programs. We at Safe Collision Repairs recently put some effort into finding the amount of money the average consumer has at stake based on some actual case studies. The amount in your particular case may be higher or lower than the average amount we calculated since DV is assessed on a case by case basis.
