A DRP, or Direct Repair Program, is the contractual partnership between an insurance company and body shop. Both parties trust each other and reach a mutually beneficial agreement, not only for ourselves and the insurance company, but also for our mutual customers. If we find additional damage during a repair, we know our partnered insurance company trusts us to proceed with repairs without having to wait for an adjuster to manually review our estimate, labor, parts, and supporting photos. This greatly speeds up the repairs without affecting quality. This does not mean we get to skip steps, in fact it’s quite the contrary. Despite the trust we are still obligated to have our repair process as transparent as possible, meaning we still take photos of every additional operation required and submit them to our partners as we would any other carrier, and our partnered carriers will review certain jobs to ensure we are holding up our promise to both them and our customers: safe, affordable, and timely repairs
