“Who Can You Trust?
“Get Fair Value for your Vehicle!”
“Scams DRP” DRP means “Direct Repair Program, or “Premiere Shops”
Michael Bocek has taken on Farmers Insurance which made national news in 2015 and in 2016 Michael Called out Risk Point Auto Insurance for Insurance fraud against their own customer.
Late in 2016 Michael was dealing with an insurance company which wanted to take short cuts and drill holes in the customers vehicles, and allotted him $250.00 “drill time”, Michael took this information to the customer and the insurance company paid to fix the vehicle properly. Rest assured when you trust your vehicle to 217dent, Michael will not cut corners. Today, a customer choose to take their vehicle to a body shop instead of using 217dent due to the fact Michael did not put a molding on the estimate, and the minor dent in the molding was seen during the inspection/estimation process, however it was repairable and did not require a new or aftermarket part, nor any additional charges to the customer’s insurance company.
