Professionals Auto Body Inc. Is Celebrating

That's right, we are celebrating! 20 years of servicing the people of Central Pennsylvania. And we are truly honored to be of service to all the great people in this great region. And we are looking forward to the next twenty years of servicing.

Independently Owned

Professionals Auto Body Inc. is not a franchise nor is it a small unproven collision repair center. When you have your car repaired at Professionals Auto Body you are working with the owner or with someone who has the authority to make decisions. We are the largest growing chain of collision repair facilities in central Pennsylvania.

Who Can Be a Professionals Auto Body Repair Store?

Only the best. One does not become a Professionals Repair Center by paying a franchise fee. A shop must first prove itself over many years. Then only the best shop in each area is selected to be a Professionals Auto Body Repair Center.

What Does It Take?
  • Collision repair must be its primary business.
  • It must have been in the collision business for many years.
  • It must be equipped with the latest in repair equipment.
  • Its technicians must be thoroughly trained and certified.
  • It must agree to live by the Professionals Auto Body warranty.
  • And above all it must have an impeccable reputation and a flawless customer service record.

Odds are nearly one in 10 that you or someone you know will be involved in an accident this year. While some accidents involve other cars and extensive damage, most are minor fender-benders. Print this page and keep it in your glove compartment in case you get in an accident. This page includes the 11 steps to take if you are involved in an accident. Please drive safely.

What To Do:
  1. Turn off your vehicle's engine and leave it where it is if you feel it is safe to do so. If you feel threatened, or your car is in danger of being hit by another car, slowly drive to a place where you feel safe, such as the side of the road or a well-lit parking lot.
  2. Keep calm.
  3. Are you injured? Assess the amount of impact and judge to what degree you may be hurt. If you think you're injured, stay in your car and try to relax. Be honest if anyone asks how you are. Ask someone to call for help and let a professional assess your condition.
  4. Assess your situation. When examining the possible damage to your vehicle, NEVER walk directly between the two cars -- if one is hit again, you could be trapped between the two vehicles.
  5. Provide medical help to others ONLY if you are trained to do so.
  6. Call the police. Dial 9-1-1 first. If that doesn't work, dial 0 and ask for the police.
  7. Don't say the accident was your fault, even if you believe it was.
  8. Be tactful and courteous, even if you're angry.
  9. Get the names, addresses and phone numbers of any witnesses. If you can't get their names, at least get their license plate numbers.
  10. Exchange names, addresses, license numbers and insurance information with any other drivers involved in the accident.
  11. Know where you want to get the damage to your vehicle repaired. You're more likely to get a good repair if you take your car to a shop that displays a logo for one of these associations: I-CAR. The Inter-Industry Conference on Collision Repairs offers the latest in technical training. If a facility is I-CAR Gold Class, then 80 percent of its technical staff is I-CAR trained.

10 things to know before having your car repaired
 
1.   Your car is the second largest investment you're likely to make. Preserve its value and your safety by having it repaired professionally.

2.   Never drive a car that could be unsafe because of damages.

3.   Some insurance companies may want you to visit their drive-in claims center before having your car repaired. You can do this, or you may leave your car at your collision repair shop and ask that the insurance company inspect the car there.

4.  You are not required by law to obtain more than one estimate or appraisal.

5.  You have the right to go to the repair shop of your choice. Your insurance company cannot require you to go to a particular shop.

6.  Differences in repair estimates are common. A lower estimate may not include all necessary work. If you're not sure why one estimate is different from another you've received, ask the shop manager.

7.  Choose a shop that has uni-body repair equipment and certified (by I-CAR or ASE, for example) Technicians.

8.  Ask if the shop will be using genuine manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts.

9.  Ask if the shop offers a repair warranty.

10.  Let the collision repair shop you choose help you negotiate your claim with the insurance company. This often leads to a better deal.
