If you’ve been in an accident and have State Farm Insurance, you may be given a list of repair facilities through State Farm’s Select Service® program. What many drivers don’t realize is that you are not required to use one of those shops.
In fact, State Farm states directly on its website that you can choose any repair shop you like to repair your vehicle. So if you’re searching for a State Farm collision repair shop in Hollywood, FL, you can choose Hollywood Collision Center and tell State Farm where you want your vehicle repaired.
Do I Have to Use a State Farm Select Service Body Shop? No.
State Farm’s Select Service program is a network of repair facilities that have agreements with the insurance company. State Farm may present these shops as a convenient option during the claims process. However, a recommendation is not a requirement. State Farm specifically states that customers have the ability to select the repairer of their choice and may use repair facilities that do not have agreements with State Farm. That means you choose who repairs your car. If you already have a body shop you trust, you can let State Farm know where you want the vehicle repaired.
Can I Choose Hollywood Collision Center for My State Farm Claim? Yes.
Hollywood Collision Center regularly works with State Farm and other major insurance companies to help customers navigate collision repairs and the insurance claims process. If you already have a State Farm claim number or estimate, bring it with you. Our team can: - Inspect your vehicle and accident damage - Review the State Farm estimate - Develop the appropriate repair plan - Communicate with State Farm during the repair process - Document additional accident-related damage if discovered - Perform necessary collision repairs and ADAS calibrations - Keep you informed throughout the repair
You don’t have to manage every conversation between the body shop and insurance company yourself. What If State Farm Already Gave Me an Estimate? Bring it to Hollywood Collision Center.
State Farm offers several estimating options, including its Photo Estimate tool for qualifying claims. State Farm explains that customers using the photo process can take guided photos of their vehicle, receive an initial estimate, and then provide that estimate to the repair shop they choose.
An initial estimate may not reveal everything. Damage behind a bumper, body panel, reinforcement, sensor, or other component may not become apparent until the vehicle is physically inspected or repairs begin. State Farm states that when a repair shop finds additional accident-related damage, it can work directly with the shop to review that damage.

A collision may involve: - Structural or frame damage - Cameras and radar sensors - Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) - Electronic components - Manufacturer-specific repair procedures - Precision paint and refinishing work

We repair all makes and models and provide collision repair, frame repair, professional refinishing, and ADAS calibration.
