Why not just a reputable collision center in general? 1. It’s going to follow BMW repair procedures. 2. Sending a couple of body men to a short manufacturers class for a piece of paper does not mean you will get quality repairs.looks totaled my man. glad to hear your ok. I would take the car to get an estimate at a reputable Toyota Collision center.
Find a good shop, don’t worry about the piece of paper. Any good shop will 100% have all of the specs and information to repair your car readily available. The certification is easy to get and the courses that I have paid for and attended teach you very little. I’ve been to courses where my results were far better than the instructors. Sad.
Sorry to rant, it just doesn’t sit well with me when people say things like this with no knowledge of what actually happens in a shop. More often than not, the dealership will be one of, if not the only one with that Toyota certification. As we all know the dealership is one of the last places you should have your repairs (or any work outside of warranty work) done.
Getting your own estimate is a waste of time these days. Insurance won’t honor it either way. The shop you choose will have to go off of the insurance cos preliminary estimate and file supplements for any additional damages. You’re doing nothing more than wasting your time by bouncing shop to shop for an estimate when your repair is an insurance claim.
I would suggest that you talk with your own insurance company about repairing your car through them and having them sue the other company for the cost of repairs. This way it will not affect your premium. I work with these companies daily, and they drag their feet big time when the claim is not their own customer.
