So for the Jackson Hole area folks that have Progressive Insurance please know that all shops in our area accept/work with Progressive. Progressive has hired a new Estimator for the area and two of the shops, ours included, will not let this estimator onto our property from past actions and attitude. Progressive is currently trying to tell customers that we do not accept Progressive and that is FALSE! You may bring your vehicle to your shop of choice and it is illegal for insurance companies to lie and/or steer you in any direction.

Thanks,

Hi everyone. We wanted to share a new insurance tactic to try and force, you as customers, to go to a DRP shop instead of your shop of choice. A DRP shop is usually a shop that has negotiated lower rates with the insurance company. This does not mean you are getting better or quality work it just means the insurance company is saving money. This photo was just shared to shops of the language in new insurance contracts. Please , please make sure and read your contracts thoroughly, before you sign, or you could be stuck footing 20% of the bill out of pocket. Insurance companies are not allowed to steer you or force you to use a particular shop of their choice but this new tactic clearly shows that they are trying to force everyone to use their DRP shops only. DO NOT SIGN a new contract or a revised contract if this language is in the documents. It clearly shows that if you want to use your shop of choice that is not one of their DRP's then you would be responsible for 20% of the bill. This should be illegal for them to do.

This does not mean you are getting better or quality work, it just means the insurance companies are saving money either way but you as the customer potentially will be paying more to have insurance with this sneaky tactic.

If you're looking for an honest and reliable Tow company in the Teton County and surrounding areas we only recommend using Courtesy Towing. Give Dennis a call and he will take care of you with excellent service and honest prices.

Did you know...that in Wyoming an Insurance company cannot force you to use aftermarket parts without written approval/acceptance from you? So NEVER sign a waiver stating you will use aftermarket parts. Regardless of what the insurance company tells you, they are not the same quality or fit as OEM parts.
