Baton Rouge Auto Accident Advisors: Medines Collision Center

Editor's note: This post was originally published on January 23, 2012 and has been updated for accuracy and relevance.

Being involved in an auto accident can be an unpleasant experience that can leave you feeling overwhelmed, helpless, and out of control. As if the chaos of the accident isn't enough, in the aftermath, while your head is still spinning, you'll have to make a series of critical choices that can either enhance or derail your experience post-accident. Take a breath and focus on the part of the situation you can control – where to have your car repaired. Don't let the police, tow truck driver, or insurance carrier decide for you; you could regret that decision later.

It's essential to be aware of your rights and to select your auto collision center wisely. Your insurance company may try to steer you toward their preferred body shops but cannot require you to have your vehicle repaired there. You have the right to choose which repair shop to use. At Medines Collision Center, we go beyond being your typical auto body shop. We position ourselves as your Auto Accident Advisers. What does this mean? It means we don't just restore your car's appearance and functionality; we provide guidance and support throughout every phase of the auto accident process.

Following my recent accident, a local mechanic friend advised me to have my car towed to Medines Collision Center as he routinely hears good things about them. I did and have been so thankful for the recommendation. The owner, staff, and mechanics at Medines are remarkable. They helped facilitate the towing, stayed in constant contact as things progressed with my insurance company, and have consistently displayed that rare “extra mile” type of customer service. They’ve been a tremendously valuable resource as I navigate the claims process. When in need of a BR collision center you can trust, you’re in need of Medines.
