Why the Insurance Asked me to Leave my Car in their office?

I had an accident and went to the insurance company for claims. They asked me to leave my car and they said they will bring it to garage in industrial area. Is this a normal practice? I am just worried; they might use without my knowledge. Thanks.

NRCRUZ, you dont have to leave your car to your insurance co. they will simply take a photo of the damaged one and then they will give you the repair approval to the concern garage. Secondly you have to finalize with the concern garage to give you estimate repair days, so that you can go back to collect it on time. otherwise the garage people will also use your car big time. it happened to me last week when I gave my car to repair. i went to collect my car little late which was 4 days late and I came to know the next day that they have used my car for about 245km run. which was very shocking for me. i came to know this stuff because I had taken a note of last KM readings. so beware my friend.

Some Insurance Companies have connection to some workshops and they are taking your car to those poeple to get their work done at a cheaper rate. You should make sure about the workshop as they might use counterfeit parts on your car or will repair the damaged part by heating (especially bumpers).

Which insurance that was ..???

Well you shouldnt have left your car with them, Just ask them either to pay you the amount of repair or the garage name where you can repair.

Also from tomorrow Holidays so they wont do anything i guess..
