No one ever wants to be in this situation, but your vehicle is involved in an accident and in need of repair.  Everyone is OK, but the car needs help.  Where do you go to get help in this process?

After you call the police, do their report, and phone your insurance company, then the bewilderment and confusion sets in.  You need to know your rights and how the process works.  

First of all, you do not need to get three estimates any longer.  The law in the State of Georgia is clear.  It is your vehicle and the choice of repairs is yours alone.  Insurance companies may try to “steer” you to a shop by telling you that they will not warranty the repairs unless you take it there.  The insurance company does not warranty the repairs, the shop does, and the reputable shops will tell you what their warranty is.  In most cases it is for as long as you own the car.  So, the important decision is finding a shop that you trust and getting your car there.

Are you worried that you won’t be able to save the money you need to send your children to college or to have a comfortable retirement? Well, you’re not alone, and there are steps you can take to get started. Learning about the kinds of savings, investment, and retirement plans available to you is a big step on the road to financial freedom.
