Managed Direct Repair Network

The benefits to insurance carriers through the Managed Repair Network quickly become apparent when reviewing the tools and information available through the program. AutoBody Alliance provides a customizable, single point to dispatch estimate requests to network shops, independent appraisers and owner’s choice repair facilities.

To begin with, our managed network provides a searchable list of reputable collision repair shops with coverage throughout the United States. All of the shops in our certified network must meet and maintain our certification requirements. The list of shops can be searched by geographical location as well as a number of additional parameters such as services provided, features of the facility, hours of operation and many others. The list is also customizable per carrier, so insurance carriers could choose to modify the list by adding or removing repair facilities allowing them to sync the list with their own or just modify it to their own preferences.

The main benefit our Direct Repair Program provides to consumers is convenience. The searchable directory of shops is available free online to everyone and is geared towards helping the average consumer search and find a collision repair facility that works best for them.

Our directory provides many options to help consumers make their decision in choosing a body shop. Features include the ability to narrow their search by geographical location to find shops near their location, services such as body work, paint, frame repair, storage and hours of operation to name a few. It also provides direct communication to the shop through phone, fax, email and the shop’s website if available, as well as mapped, turn-by-turn driving directions to the facility.

This online tool helps consumers to find options available as well as the right services and features for them to make a better decision for a simpler and convenient collision repair experience.
