It's Minnesota Law:
Minnesota Law protects you in case of an accident. Your insurance company may not dictate which collision shop you choose. Be sure to select a qualified, experienced and manufacturer-approved collision center to bring your vehicle back to the way it was before it was damaged.
Your Rights (Minn. Stat 72A.201, Subd. 6) If you have been in an auto accident and submit a claim to your insurance company, you should know that:
You should consult with the collision repair professional of your choice to determine the appropriate repair plan for your vehicle. Collision repair professionals have the knowledge and technical expertise to know which parts, materials, and repair procedures are necessary for the proper and safe repair of your vehicle. Armed with this information, you will be in a better position to make sure you receive what you’re entitled to by law from your insurance company.
