Your Car, Your Choice

You love your car. You take care of it and baby it. When you get in an accident you want it taken care of in the best possible way.

We are in the business of making you happy. We want to perform the best possible repairs on your car.

You get to choose who repairs your car.

Insurance companies want to save money. They have preferred networks of shops that sign contracts with them to agree to use Aftermarket (non-original) parts, Salvage (used) parts and offer discounts to the insurance company. Insurance companies grade the shops on how well they meet those objectives.

We don’t enter in to secret contracts with Insurers because we don’t want to lose sight of the fact that YOU are our customer. We’re in the business of making YOU happy. We offer YOU a lifetime warranty and hope YOU refer your friends. If there are discounts to be given we would rather pass those on to YOU.
We work with all insurance companies and we won’t charge you any more. But we will negotiate on your behalf to perform the best possible repairs to your car.

You get to choose who repairs your car.

We hope you choose us. At Schneider Auto Karosserie we’ve been making customers happy for 27 years. Check out our reviews online. You can find them through our website or through Google. Please give us the opportunity to make you happy.

What are “Direct Repair Programs”?

What are Direct Repair Programs?

Some auto insurance companies use direct repair programs to provide repairs for their policy holders. In a direct repair program, a collision shop and an auto insurance company complete a contract to provide repairs for the customer.  This is how a direct repair program works: You are involved in an accident and contact the  insurance company. The insurance company then refers you to a network of  repair facilities.

Insurance companies promote the advantages of a direct repair program to their customers as convenience, warranties on repair work, and the freedom from estimates and other paperwork details.

The advantage to the collision specialist is the steady stream of referrals. A collision shop might participate in one, or several, insurance companies’ direct repair programs.

Some direct repair program contracts between insurance companies and collision specialists require the repairer to write  estimates using aftermarket or salvage parts. Other details can assign the responsibility of any non-essential repairs to the customer. Some contracts also require the collision shop to shoulder all liability for repairs performed and indemnify the insurer from any lawsuit the customer might bring.

While we work with all Insurance Companies, we at Schneider Auto Karosserie prefer not to enter in to contracts with insurance companies that commit us to the usage of used or aftermarket parts in order to save them money.  In order to keep our loyalty focused on our customers and on performing the best possible repairs on the vehicle, we choose not to contractually obligate ourselves to an Insurance company.  We want to keep it clear that we work for YOU, the vehicle owner.

Salt Lake City Mayor Awards Schneider Auto – Utah’s First “Green” Body Shop

Salt Lake City, UT: Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker and the Division of Sustainability and the Environment recently certified Schneider Auto Karosserie as an e2 Businesses creating Utah’s first “green” auto body repair shop.

To obtain the certification Schneider Auto proved its commitment to the environment in three areas. The company switched to water based paint products, which reduces hazardous waste and volatile emissions by up to 80 percent. They instituted a strict waste reduction program including recycling many automotive parts, steel, aluminum, plastics and cardboard. And lastly, the shop has committed to reducing its electricity consumption 10 percent by replacing incandescent light bulbs with energy efficient LED, reprogramming thermostats, shutting off equipment and purchasing Blue Sky Credits.

“We appreciated that [Schneider Auto Karosserie] has taken a leadership roll in environmental stewardship within the community,” says Bridget Stuchly, Outreach Coordinator of the e2 Business Program. “You have helped make Salt Lake a cleaner and more vibrant community.”

Schneider Auto Karosserie is an independently owned full service collision repair shop specializing in Audi, Volkswagen, Mercedes and BMWs. For 26 years, owner Margrit Schneider has guided the company focusing on customer satisfaction and attention to detail.

“I’m thrilled be recognized for our green efforts,” says Schneider, “We’ve worked hard to reduce our emissions and carbon footprint. It’s just another way we are dedicated to our customers and our community.”
