Before you can take advantage of Berks Auto Repair’s Direct Repair Program, there are a few eligibility requirements that need to be met. Here’s what you need to know:

To qualify for our DRP, your insurance company must partner with Berks Auto Repair. Fortunately, we have established relationships with many major insurance providers, so we can handle the claims process on your behalf.

Your vehicle must be covered under an accident or collision policy. This ensures that the repairs needed to restore your car are covered by your insurance company.

Once you bring your car to our shop, we will perform a comprehensive damage assessment. After that, we’ll work directly with your insurance company to get approval for the repairs.

The Process of Our Direct Repair Program
At Berks Auto Repair, we’ve streamlined the repair process to ensure it’s as easy and efficient as possible. Here’s a breakdown of how our Direct Repair Program works.
Step 1: Initial Consultation and Damage Assessment

We’ll also explain any necessary repairs and answer any questions you have about the process.
Step 2: Insurance Communication and Approval
Once we’ve assessed the damage, we will contact your insurance provider to start the claim process. Our team will work directly with your insurance company to secure approval for the repairs. We’ll take care of all paperwork, submit estimates, and handle any negotiations, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. With our extensive experience working with insurance companies, we make sure your claim is processed as quickly and smoothly as possible.
