At Gold Star, we encourage all drivers to stay up to speed on driving safety. With school back in session, drivers should take extra precautions. Extra care needs to be taken when dropping off kids at school, as well as driving near schools where children and increased traffic are present. School buses are also back on the road, and drivers must know when to stop for them so that students can get on and off safely. If you’re by a school, you’re likely sharing the road with mo...re pedestrians and bicyclists. Here are some basic tips to help you whether you’re dropping the kids off at school or simply driving past a school bus. When dropping off children at school, avoid double-parking. It can create blind spots for you, other drivers, and pedestrians. Always remain alert and slow down your speed in school speed zones. Aside from children, you’ll also encounter crossing guards helping them across streets by the school. Know when to stop for a bus on certain types of roads. On a two-lane road, vehicles going in both directions must stop. On multiple-lane roads, again vehicles going in both directions must stop. On a divided highway, vehicles behind the bus must stop. However, vehicles going in the opposite direction of the bus may proceed with caution. We also ought to mention there are teens heading to schools in their cars. If you’re a parent of a teen, here are some safety driving tips. If you keep these things in mind, you can share the roads safely with those heading back to school.

Total Loss? Gold Star Auto Body has the right information for you! What to do if your vehicle has been deemed a total loss: If your vehicle has been in an accident and is not drivable, a wrecker service has likely taken it to their secured storage lot. DO NOT ALLOW THEIR CLAIMS REPRESENTATIVE TO MOVE YOUR VEHICLE BEFORE YOU AGREE ON A SETTLEMENT! This may be the only leverage you have over them to pay you what they rightly owe you. While your car is sitting at the body shop ...or towing service lot, it is accruing storage fees. The accruing storage fees will ensure the adjuster be more prompt with a settlement. Once you release your vehicle to them, they will move it to their lot and since there are no storage fees, they may take a longer amount of time to agree with you on a settlement. Don't fall for the scare tactics; they cannot make you release your vehicle until you have reached a reasonable settlement. Through the years, we have seen many people get shorted by 20-30% because they released their vehicle to the insurance company before finding out the value of their vehicle. Unlike DRP shops, non-DRP shops will work for you and look out for your best interest. Non-DRP shops are more likely to advise you on what to do to best benefit you. The insurance company owes you the retail value based on the condition of your vehicle. Don't let them use their scare tactics to pressure you into settling for a low-ball offer. We recommend using NADA for the most accurate result. Find out what comparable vehicles in your area are selling for. Remember, they are looking for the cheapest way to settle your claim. If you feel their settlement offer is not reasonable, make sure you use the appraisal clause. Happy Saturday!
