Evaluate repair estimates carefully.
Washington State Law protects you. You have the right to take your vehicle to the repair facility of your choice and are not obligated to use the repair shop mandated by your insurance company. Make sure all necessary repairs are fully itemized. Ask questions: Was the alignment checked? Why is the hood being repaired, not replaced? and so on.
