Dealing with a wrecked car is stressful enough without fighting your insurance company over it. At Mike’s Body Shop we handle the claim for you, filing, working with the adjuster, submitting supplements when hidden damage turns up, and billing your insurer directly. We estimate in CCC One, the same platform most carriers use, so the numbers line up and your repair keeps moving. Your job is to drive again soon; ours is the paperwork.
We Work With Every Major Insurer
State Farm, GEICO, Allstate, Progressive, USAA, Farmers, Liberty Mutual, and the rest. We bill all major insurance companies directly. Because we write estimates in CCC One, the same system most insurers use, our documentation speaks their language, which means fewer delays and cleaner approvals. When the teardown reveals damage that was hidden behind a bumper or panel, we photograph it and submit a supplement so it gets covered rather than passed on to you.
Your Vehicle, Your Choice of Shop
You decide who repairs your vehicle. An insurer can recommend a shop from a "preferred" or "direct repair" list, but you are not obligated to use one, simply tell your insurer you have chosen Mike’s Body Shop and we take it from there. Preferred lists exist for the insurer’s convenience, not necessarily your car’s.

What We Handle For You
- Filing the claim or picking up an existing claim number and running with it.
- The adjuster: scheduling, documentation, and answering their questions directly.
- Supplements for hidden damage found during teardown, so the estimate reflects the real repair.
- Direct billing to your insurer, so in most cases you only pay your deductible.
- Rental coordination: if your policy includes rental coverage, we help line it up. See does insurance cover a rental.
- Status updates throughout the repair so you are never left wondering.
Not Going Through Insurance?
Plenty of repairs make more sense to pay out of pocket, small damage, or when a claim would raise your premium more than the repair costs. We provide free written estimates and competitive self-pay pricing with the same quality workmanship and the same lifetime guarantee. We will help you weigh whether filing a claim is worth it for your situation, honestly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it cost anything for you to handle my claim?
No. Managing the claim, working with the adjuster, and submitting supplements is part of the service. In most insured repairs you pay only your deductible; we bill the insurer directly for the rest.
Can my insurance company make me use their shop?
No. You choose who repairs your vehicle. An insurer can recommend a shop, but you are not required to use one from their preferred list. Tell them you have chosen Mike’s Body Shop and we handle the rest.
What if you find more damage than the estimate covered?
That is common once we start disassembly. We document the additional damage with photos and submit a supplement to your insurer for approval, so the repair reflects what your vehicle actually needs.
Do I need to get multiple estimates before choosing you?
Generally no. Your insurer typically works from one estimate. You are free to bring the car straight to us for a free estimate, and we will coordinate with your carrier from there.
Will filing a claim raise my rates?
That depends on your insurer, your policy, and who was at fault. It is a decision only you can make. We are happy to give you a self-pay estimate too so you can compare and decide what makes sense.
