No insurance networks. Ever.
The minute we sign a network agreement, we start optimizing for the insurer. We don't, so we don't. Not for volume, not for easier billing, not for any reason.
The thesis
The collision business is broken. We built the alternative.
Insurance networks optimize for insurer profit. MSOs optimize for volume. Customers get processed, not served. Collision Kings exists to do the opposite — and prove it can win.
Eddie's story
Eddie spent two decades inside the collision world — at MSO chains, at insurance-network shops, at the kind of places where the adjuster calls more shots than the technician.
He kept watching the same play run: a customer comes in shaken from an accident, the shop installs an aftermarket bumper to keep the insurance partner happy, the safety sensors get half-recalibrated, and the car goes out the door looking fixed but not being fixed.
Eddie left and built Collision Kings on a single principle: the customer pays the premium every month. When they need coverage, they deserve a shop that fights for them — not one that rubber-stamps whatever keeps the insurer happy.
That's not a marketing line. That's why we exist.
What this means in practice
Four rules we won't break.
OEM parts only
Your sensors, your airbags, your structural integrity — they were engineered around specific parts. Aftermarket means compromised tolerances. We don't compromise.
Speed without shortcuts
Big shops take three weeks because your car sits in queue. We stock parts, run a pro paint booth, and don't wait on insurance approvals. The work takes hours; we don't add weeks.
Educate, don't sell
If we have to hide what we're doing or why, we shouldn't be doing it. Every line item gets explained. Every option gets walked through. Trust is earned in plain language.
That's the thesis. That's the business.
If that sounds like a shop you'd want fixing your car, we'd love to hear from you.
