Safe Auto Direct Repair Program  Fred Martin Nissan Collision Center

Fred Martin Nissan Collision Center is proud to announce that we are now a part of the SafeAuto Direct Repair Program! In the automotive repair industry, a Direct Repair Program, also known as a DRP, is a relationship that is formed between an insurance company and an auto body shop. When an insurance agent is working with someone whose vehicle has been damaged, they will give suggestions of auto body shops to their clients.

While the consumer has the right to choose where they take their vehicle, a DRP can be beneficial to both insurance carriers and the consumer.

For insurance carriers, it’s easier to dispatch estimate requests to shops already in the network. Insurance companies can also select shops they trust and provide customers with a list of vetted options.

For consumers, it can be difficult to choose where to take your vehicle after an accident. Choosing an auto body shop on your insurance’s DRP is a good start in choosing a credible shop.

For our customers who have insurance through SafeAuto, we now offer more efficient and transparent assistance, along with high-quality repair work from Fred Martin Collision Center. If you have any questions, please feel free to call 330-734-3930.

Located at 3388 S Arlington Rd, Akron, OH, 44312, right next to Budget Car Mart and across from Trusty Cars and Credit.
