Your Right to Choose. Our Job to Advocate.
Under Maryland law, you — not your insurance company — decide where your vehicle is repaired. We work with every major insurer and protect your interests throughout the process.
You choose your repair shop.
Maryland insurance regulations guarantee your right to select any licensed collision facility for repairs. Your insurer may suggest a network shop — but you are never obligated to use one.
Choosing a factory-certified facility like SOMCC protects your vehicle's safety systems, structural integrity, manufacturer warranty, and resale value. We will not perform shortcuts to satisfy an insurer's preferred estimate.
If an insurance representative pressures you toward a specific shop, that practice is called "steering" and is regulated in Maryland.
Simply respond: "I am choosing Safford Owings Mills Collision Center." That sentence is your full legal answer.
We handle the paperwork. You drive.
