*NOTE: “STEERING”
In the insurance world of auto body repair, steering refers to the practice of an insurance company directing a policyholder to a specific body shop or repair facility. This can happen when an insurance adjuster tries to influence a policyholder to take their vehicle to a particular body shop or repair facility that is part of the insurance company’s preferred network.
Steering can be illegal if the insurance company is using coercive or deceptive tactics to direct the policyholder to a specific repair facility. It can also be a violation of consumer rights if it limits the policyholder’s ability to choose the body shop or repair facility of their choice.
In some cases, insurance companies may try to steer policyholders to a specific body shop or repair facility in an effort to control the cost of repairs. Preferred network repair facilities may offer discounts or special rates to insurance companies in exchange for a higher volume of referrals, which can help the insurance company reduce their claims costs.
It’s important for policyholders to understand that they have the right to choose the body shop or repair facility of their choice, regardless of the insurance company’s preferred network. By choosing an auto body shop that follows OEM procedures and guidelines, policyholders can ensure that their vehicle is repaired properly and that their safety is not compromised.
