You Auto Know! It’s Your Vehicle And It’s Your Choice. Hi I’m Leonard Rich, owner of Rich’s Auto Body in Merced, and this is You Auto Know!... If you’ve been in an accident, your insurance company will most likely try to direct you to their authorized repair shop or inspection station. The question is, do you have to use their authorized shop or inspection station and the simple answer is no. You have the legal right to take your vehicle to the auto body shop of your choice; leave your vehicle there; and notify your insurance agent or company. And at Rich’s Auto Body in Merced, we can take care of the entire process for you. Once your vehicle has been in an accident and you are within fifty (50) miles of Rich’s Auto Body, call us and we’ll tow your vehicle from the accident scene directly to our shop for free. Our estimators will immediately start the process and we’ll just need your insurance company’s information. There is no need to obtain more than one estimate and all insurance companies owe it to you to return your damaged vehicle back to its pre-loss condition as related to appearance, function, and value. If you do chose your own repair shop, claims representatives will often try to sway you away from your decision telling you that your shop isn't on their list, and that they may not be able to handle your claim efficiently. They may explain that it will take up to a week before an adjuster will be available to write an estimate on your car and that their company will not warranty the repairs if you don't have your car repaired at their shop. Don’t be intimidated by this. Reputable auto body repair shops, like Rich’s Auto Body in Merced, use factory authorized parts, quality workmanship, and provide a lifetime warranty no matter who is paying the bill. Our shop estimators are familiar with your insurance company’s claims process and know their local adjusters, making it easy to complete the estimate process and repairs quickly. And at Rich’s Auto Body in Merced, we’ve been repairing vehicles in Merced back to their pre-loss condition for over 52 years!

All of the cars shown were restored by Rich's Auto body Inc. Merced Ca.
