Is there a time limit for car repairs after filing an insurance claim?

[FinleyLynn]

Insurance companies have a time limit for damage assessment, requiring them to assess the damage within 48 hours; otherwise, the repair invoice will be used as the basis. Considerations for car repairs include: 1. Whether it's within the warranty period: If the vehicle is still under the warranty at a 4S shop, repairs should be done there to ensure the user benefits from the warranty policy. If the vehicle is out of warranty, repairs can be done at auto repair shops, which are cheaper than 4S shops and have lower labor costs. 2. Agree on the price before repairs: 4S shops have fixed prices with no room for negotiation, while other repair shops may allow price discussions. Before repairs, clarify the parts to be repaired and the labor costs to avoid additional charges midway.
