You have a choice! When it comes to selecting a shop for collision repair it’s your choice—it’s Florida state law. Auto insurance companies may direct you to a more “cost effective” auto body shop they prefer working with, but you have the option of selecting the shop of your choice. You’re not required to go to the shop your insurance company suggests.
