Business ProfileforBig Sky Collision Centers

Big Sky Collision center cheated *********** insurance company out of $4156. My son's vehicle was towed to their place for repairs in Nov of 2022. They created a repair estimate for $8027.02 & my insurance company, Liberty Mutual, approved it. Big Sky began the work and completed the work in Jan 23. However, they ultimately did work on the vehicle that far exceeded anything that had been submitted & approved for. Additional repair work that was not on the original estimate, was required to be submitted to Liberty Mutual on a supplement form to get approval prior to the work being started. The header at the supplement form states verbatim..."ALL SUPPLEMENTS REQUIRE PRIOR APPROVAL BY LIBERTY MUTUAL/SAFECO INSURANCE COMPANY". Instead of first getting approval to perform additional work, Big Sky performed the work & used the supplement form simply as a bill to the insurance company.As an example, the headrest on the vehicle deployed during the accident as they are designed to do. However, they are also designed to be reset. Big Sky was unable to reset them, so they took it upon themselves to purchase new ones. The cost was roughly $650 per headrest. They then charged my insurance $1002 per headrest. They also charged 2 hours of labor to install the new headrest. In the end, their bill was $12,854, over $4800 above the last approved estimate.******* Revised Statute 44-1522 requires a written estimate of the cost of services before starting work. A.R.S 44-1523 prohibits a business charging more than 110% of the estimated cost of services. With the last approved estimate being $8027, Big Sky criminally broke both of these ******* laws. In total, they kept the vehicle 5 months. As Liberty Mutual believed they already paid a fair price for the ************* Sky was exceeding necessary work, I had to take a loan out for the remaining bill before they would release the vehicle. Big Sky are insurance scammers & have no fear for violating state law.
