Out-of-pocket repairs · Naples, FL
Already bought the part? Ask Diego to fit it.
Not every repair goes through insurance. If you have already bought the bumper, mirror or panel, ask Diego to paint it to match and fit it, with the price in writing first.
“Went to see Diego for a repair that was not covered by insurance. He allowed me to bring in parts that I had purchased. He painted them and installed them on the vehicle for me. I explained we were paying out of pocket for our rental, so he took it right in and had it done in two weeks. Car looks great! Would highly recommended.”

Before you buy the part
Six checks that save a trip.
A part that does not fit costs you a return and a week. Tick these off before you order, then bring the part and the car together.
Pay yourself, or claim?
Two ways to pay, side by side.
General points to weigh, not advice about your policy. Your agent can tell you how your deductible and premium work.
| Question | Paying out of pocket | Through a claim |
|---|---|---|
| A written estimate | Get the number first, whichever way you pay. | The same estimate helps your adjuster too. |
| Your deductible | If the estimate is close to your deductible, paying yourself can make sense. | If the damage is large, a claim may be worth it. |
| Who sources the parts | You buy them and bring them in. | Parts are agreed as part of the claim. |
| Who decides | You approve the work directly with Diego. | Ask your adjuster how the claim works on your policy. |
