Insurance FAQs
Common Questions
Do I have to use the shop my insurance recommends?
No. Ohio law guarantees your right to choose any licensed repair shop. Your insurer must work with us regardless of their preferred network.
Will using Reliable cost me more out of pocket?
No. Our rates are in line with insurance carriers, and we help cover up to $1,000 of your deductible — typically lowering your out-of-pocket costs.
What if my insurance writes for cheaper parts?
We'll always disclose part options. If your policy allows OEM parts, we push for them. If only aftermarket is approved, we'll explain the difference and your options.
How long will I be without my car?
Most claims are completed in 5–10 business days. We coordinate rental car authorization with your carrier.
Do you handle out-of-state insurance?
Yes. We work with every major U.S. carrier regardless of which state issued the policy.
What if my claim gets denied?
We'll review the denial with you and help you appeal or explore other options. You're not on your own.
