U Turn, really.

So I pick up my car from the shop yesterday after getting a sensor change and the is lady decides to make a U-TURN from the number two lane. Any one know places to get quotes for insurance work in Houston.

When I got into a little fender bender a few years ago I took mine to Caliber Collision. They have several places around town and did a good job.

Royalty Paint & Body off of Schumacher has done insurance and cash work for my entire family. We've been using them for years. Mike is a good guy to work with, even if the shop is not eye candy from the street.

Is that statement really a good thing? (for some reason my smileys won't work or I would put a few here)

cash keeps the insurance companies and carfax out of your pockets.

What that means is that they have done insurance work and non-insurance work for us.

Thanks you guys, I am going to get some estimates from these places.
Progressive is the insurance of the other person who wants me to take it to their place of service. What is the law here in Texas on that. Do I have to go to their place to get repairs done?

As Shardul stated, no. You can take it anywhere to get it fixed. Thier insurance is going to give you the cheapest repair estimate.

you dont need to do all that extra work

have the at fault party adjuster come and look at the car, they will write you and estimate and issue you a check on the spot since the damage is not that much. they will also provide a number for supplemental claims which the body can use to get approval to fix additional damage.
then take it to a shop of your choice and get the car fixed.

for body work remember you get what you pay for.

Take it to the best shop you can find, insurance is footing the bill anyways.
