Can your insurance company pick your body shop in Texas?
Texas law says your insurance company can’t require you to use a particular repair shop. Here’s what that means after a crash and how to use your own shop.

After a crash you want two things: to know what the repair will cost, and to get your car back looking like nothing happened. Patagonia Garage is a body shop on Cypress Creek Pkwy that does both, for drivers across Willowbrook, Champions, Vintage Park, Cypress, Jersey Village, Klein, Tomball, Spring and The Woodlands.

Reviews
“Eddie did an absolutely perfect job fixing the dent in my white Lexus SUV. Not only was the price extremely reasonable, but he also completed the work incredibly fast. His fantastic attitude, great personality, and excellent communication make him a rare gem. I highly recommend him!”“He was the best!! I couldn't even recognize my car once he fixed it! And the communication was great! Definitely will recommend to others!”“Did great job on repairing fender after 18 wheeler tire hit front end of truck. His prices were more than reasonable and I'm very happy with the results. Will be using his shop again if needed.”“If I can give Eduardo 10 stars I would, great communication and was honest when he could fix and get my car back to me!”Blog
