Key things to know in Miami

An insurer may not require replacement parts that are not at least equal in kind and quality to the damaged parts in fit, appearance and performance (Florida Statutes §626.9743(4)). Source

If a written estimate uses non-OEM aftermarket crash parts, the insurer's or shop's estimate must identify each one and include a printed disclosure that those parts are warranted by their maker or distributor, not by your vehicle's manufacturer (Florida Statutes §501.33). Source

If an insurer chooses to repair your car and requires a particular repair shop, it must have the car restored to its pre-loss condition in performance and appearance at no extra cost to you beyond what the policy states (Florida Statutes §626.9743(3)). Source

When an insurer settles a partial loss using a written estimate prepared by or for the insurer, it must give you a copy of that estimate (Florida Statutes §626.9743(7)). Source

How to choose a body shop in Miami

Most people pick a collision shop once every few years, usually in a hurry and often with an insurance adjuster suggesting one. A few minutes of checking before you hand over the keys is worth it, because the quality of a structural repair is hard to judge once the paint is on.

What the credentials on this page mean

I-CAR Gold Class is the recognition I-CAR, the collision industry's training organization, gives to shops whose technicians keep up ongoing training in their roles. Modern cars mix high-strength steels, aluminum and bonded panels, and repair methods change with every model year, so current training matters more in collision work than almost anywhere else in auto repair.

Carmaker certification means a manufacturer has certified that the shop has the tools, training and facilities its repair procedures call for. If you drive a newer vehicle from one of the brands a shop is certified for, that shop is set up to repair it to the carmaker's own instructions.

AAA Approved Auto Repair shops have been inspected by AAA and agreed to its service standards. BBB accreditation means the business has applied to the Better Business Bureau and committed to its standards for handling customers. We show accreditation only — never a letter grade.

Questions to ask before you authorise a repair

Hurricanes and flooding

Miami sits in a hurricane zone, and storm surge and street flooding can put water into a car's cabin, wiring and engine. A flooded car should not be started until it has been checked, because water in the engine or electronics can cause more damage. Tell your insurer and the shop if the car was in water, since flood damage is often handled differently from a collision claim.

Your rights after a claim

Under Florida law, an insurer cannot require parts that are worse in fit, appearance or performance than the ones damaged, and any aftermarket crash parts on an estimate must be listed and disclosed. If the insurer chooses the shop, it must return the car to its pre-loss condition at no extra cost to you beyond the policy terms. Ask for a copy of the estimate the settlement is based on.
