Your insurance company does not get to pick your shop.
In Maine, the choice of where to repair your vehicle after an accident is yours — and yours alone. Weirs Collision Center is a certified DRP partner with State Farm, GEICO, MMG, and Patriot Insurance. We handle everything. You just pick up your car.
Your Shop
Maine law protects your right to choose.
Under Maine insurance regulations, your insurance company is legally prohibited from requiring you to use a specific repair shop. They can suggest preferred shops — but they cannot make it a condition of your claim.
This matters because some insurers will tell you to "take it to our shop" without mentioning that you have a choice. Some will imply that using a non-preferred shop will slow down your claim or cost you more. That is not true.
If your insurance company approves the repair, they must pay for it — regardless of which certified shop you choose. At Weirs, we work directly with all major insurers every single day. We know the process, we know the adjusters, and we know how to get your claim approved quickly.
"An insurer shall not require a claimant to use a particular motor vehicle repair facility."
- You have the legal right to choose any licensed repair shop
- Your insurer must honor the repair cost at your chosen shop
- Your claim cannot be penalized for not using a preferred shop
- You are entitled to OEM-quality parts and procedures
- Weirs handles all insurer communication on your behalf
Has your insurance company told you where to take your car?
If your adjuster or insurance rep directed you to a specific shop, you don't have to go there. Under Maine law, that recommendation is just that — a recommendation. Call us at 207.604.7291 and we'll walk you through your rights and start your claim right here, with no extra hassle or delay.
Approved and trusted by Maine's top insurers.

Insurance questions, answered.
We've walked thousands of Maine drivers through the claims process. Here are the questions we hear most.
No. Under Maine insurance regulations, your insurer cannot require you to use a specific shop. They may recommend a shop, but the choice is legally yours. Choosing Weirs will not slow down your claim or increase your costs — we work directly with all major insurers every day.
A Direct Repair Program (DRP) shop has been vetted and approved by an insurance company. That means faster claims, direct billing, and no adjuster delays. Weirs is a DRP partner with State Farm, GEICO, MMG, and Patriot Insurance — and we work with all other insurers too.
You are responsible for your deductible — the amount defined in your policy. Beyond that, we bill your insurer directly. There are no hidden fees, no markup surprises. If we find additional damage during the repair, we file a supplement with your insurer before any extra work is done.
Every repair is different depending on damage severity and parts availability. We give you an accurate timeline at drop-off and update you throughout. If your policy covers a rental car, we arrange that for you so there's no gap in your transportation.
Yes — we use OEM or OEM-equivalent parts specified in our repair procedures. As a holder of 8 OEM certifications, we are required to follow factory repair procedures. If your insurer approves aftermarket parts, we'll discuss this with you before any work begins. Your choice, always.
We fight that battle for you. Our team handles supplement negotiations directly with your adjuster — we document additional damage, back it up with OEM repair procedures, and push for full approval. You won't be asked to pay the difference on covered repairs.
Yes — every repair we perform carries a lifetime warranty for as long as you own the vehicle. This covers workmanship and materials on all repairs. Combined with your insurer's guarantee (for DRP customers), your vehicle has dual warranty coverage.
Absolutely — and we recommend it. Bring your car in first and let us assess the damage. We'll walk you through the claim process, advise you on what to say when you call your insurer, and in many cases file the claim on your behalf. Walk-ins are always welcome.
Bring your car to Weirs. We handle the rest.
You have the right to choose your shop. Choose the one your insurance company already trusts — with 65 years in Southern Maine, 8 OEM certifications, and a lifetime warranty on every repair.
