Typically, an Illinois auto insurance does not require a specific repair shop unless stipulated in your policy. Your insurance company may, however, request for multiple repair estimates. Even if your insurer suggests a repair shop, you may still choose your own.
When your chosen repair shop charges more than your coverage, you will have to pay for the difference. When choosing your own auto repair company, make sure you notify your insurer where your vehicle is prior to repairs so they can estimate the total damages and coverage.

A lot of personal injury lawyers raise their contingency fee throughout the process, charging 1/3 if the case is settled pre-suit, charging 40% if the case is filed after a lawsuit is filed, and charging 50% if the case goes to trial. We don’t. At 844 See Mike, our personal injury contingency fee is always 1/3 and that’s not changing. We will handle your property damage claim FOR FREE.  We will never change our contingency fee throughout the process.  You will not owe us a penny unless you get money.
