Know your rights

In Ontario, you choose your own body shop

When you call your insurer after a collision, they may steer you toward a “preferred” or “network” shop. That’s a convenience option — not a requirement. Ontario drivers have the right to choose where their vehicle is repaired, and choosing an independent, quality-focused shop like MacGyver means your repair is done to manufacturer standards, not to a volume contract. We’ll still make the insurance side effortless with full direct billing and claim coordination.

Insurance claim FAQ

Your questions, answered

Do I have to use the body shop my insurance company recommends?
No. In Ontario you have the legal right to choose your own body shop for collision repair. Insurers may suggest a ‘preferred’ or ‘network’ shop, but the decision is always yours — simply tell your adjuster you want MacGyver Auto Body & Collision.
What does direct insurance billing mean?
It means we bill your insurance company directly for the approved repair costs, so you only pay your deductible (if any). You avoid paying the full amount up front and waiting for reimbursement — we handle the paperwork and coordinate with your adjuster.
Which insurance companies do you work with?
We work with all major Ontario insurers, including Intact, Aviva, TD, Desjardins, Wawanesa, Economical, Allstate, RBC, CAA and more. We’re experienced with the estimating and claims systems each of them uses.
Will using your shop affect my warranty or the quality of the repair?
No. We follow manufacturer repair procedures and use OEM or manufacturer-approved parts where required, and every repair is backed by our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee for as long as you own the vehicle.
