As an approved Direct Repair Facility, BEAR Collision Center works directly with major insurance providers like GEICO, Progressive, and State Farm to expedite high-quality repairs for policyholders.
What Is a DRP?
A Direct Repair Program (DRP) is a partnership between an insurance company and a certified auto body repair shop. Through this arrangement:
- The insurer pre-approves the facility for repairs
- Estimates, inspections, and claims are streamlined
- The shop must meet strict performance metrics and customer satisfaction goals
- Repairs often come with an insurance-backed warranty
California law still allows you to choose your own repair shop — even if your insurer recommends a DRP provider. But selecting an approved DRP shop like BEAR makes the process faster and less stressful.

- 🧾 Seamless claims processing with insurance adjusters
- 🕐 Faster turnaround due to pre-approved procedures
