About Safeway Insurance and Your Repair
Safeway Insurance is a non-standard California carrier. We process Safeway claims directly. Like other non-standard carriers, expect to need supplements after teardown, we handle that documentation for you.
You Always Have the Right to Choose Your Body Shop
California Insurance Code §758.5 makes it illegal for an insurance company to require you to use a specific shop. Safeway Insurance can recommend, but they can't require. You have the legal right to bring your repair to Executive Auto Body & Paint, and we strongly recommend you do.
Why? Because we work for you, not the insurance company. When the carrier wants to use cheaper aftermarket parts on safety components, we push back. When the initial estimate underscopes the damage, we document and supplement. When the insurer wants to rush a paint job, we say no.
What If My Repair Costs More Than the Initial Estimate?
Initial insurance estimates are usually written from a quick photo review and rarely capture the full damage. After we tear down your vehicle, we almost always find additional damage that wasn't visible in the original estimate. That's normal, it's called a supplement.
We document the additional damage with photos and submit the supplement to Safeway Insurance. They review and authorize. You don't pay more out of pocket as long as the additional damage is covered by your policy (which it almost always is, since it's part of the same accident).
