Frequently Asked Questions About Kosmetic Kar Doctor
Do you work with insurance providers? Do I need an insurance adjuster to look at the car first?
Yes, we collaborate with insurance providers. Some insurance companies may require you to visit their drive-in claims center for an initial inspection. After this inspection, you can bring their estimate to Kosmetic Kar Doctor, and we'll manage your claim from that point forward. Alternatively, you can leave your vehicle with us, and we'll review the claim directly with the insurance adjuster.
