More DRP access.
More buying power.
More money in your shop.

Top Shop Collision Group builds the direct repair program, third-party claims administrator, fleet, and vendor relationships that level the playing field MSOs have had for years, without you giving up your independence.

WE DO THE RELATIONSHIP BUILDING.
YOU DO THE REPAIRS.

Your shop’s quality speaks for itself. But landing direct repair insurance programs, fleet accounts, or better vendor deals comes down to connections and economies of scale most independent shops don’t have on their own.

FOR 15+ YEARS, THAT’S BEEN OUR JOB.

WHAT AFFILIATES SAY ABOUT
WORKING WITH TOP SHOP

I have done business with Top Shop over the past few years and find them to be very responsive to our needs. A valued business partner we’ve relied on.”

Former DRP Manager, Amica Insurance

Top Shop helped me grow my business leaps and bounds by bringing new DRPs to evaluate my shop. If not for their help, I can’t imagine where my business would be today.”

David, Avery Body & Trim Shop Inc.

DRP RELATIONSHIPS

WE PUT YOUR SHOP IN FRONT OF
THE DIRECT REPAIR PROGRAM
CARRIERS THAT MATTER

Getting considered for a direct repair program is about relationships, scale, performance, and visibility, not luck. We’ve spent 15+ years building the relationships that put your shop in front of the people who decide, and providing the representation that gets you there.

Insurance carriers still look at a few specific things before adding a shop. Here’s what they check, and where we help:

CSI Score icon

CSI SCORE.

Your Customer Satisfaction Index. Most carriers set a minimum score before they’ll consider you.

Certifications icon

CERTIFICATIONS.

Current I-CAR Gold and OEM certifications for the makes and models you repair.

Entegral Profile icon

ENTEGRA PROFILE.

A complete, current profile insurers and appraisers reference when evaluating shops.

Note: We can’t guarantee a placement, that decision always belongs to the insurer, but we guarantee we’ll represent your shop honestly, get you in front of decision makers, and keep working the relationship on your behalf.

THIRD PARTY CLAIM ADMINISTRATOR &
FLEET COMPANY RELATIONSHIPS

WE LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD
MSOs HAVE HAD FOR YEARS

Large MSOs have long had an advantage independent shops didn’t: a single point of contact managing their carrier and fleet relationships instead of chasing each one down individually. We bring that same advantage to your shop. We work with one of the most aggressive third-party claim administrators in the industry, and they’re constantly adding new carrier and fleet relationships for our members.

Help with contracts and applications, so your shop is presented in the best possible light.

We can’t promise every shop gets added, that decision sits with the administrator and their carrier partners, but we do the work to put your shop in the strongest possible position, from the paperwork to the pitch.

Vendor & Rebate Program

Turn your everyday purchases into monthly savings

You’re already buying paint, parts, and equipment somewhere. Our vendor program turns those purchases into monthly savings you weren’t collecting before you joined, through 30+ vendor partners across parts, paint, equipment, and more. Additional vendors coming soon!

We’ve also negotiated discounted Garage Keepers and liability insurance rates, and some shops are saving up to $10,000 per location a year on that alone.

How to get started with Top Shop

1. Talk to us. Tell us about your shop: size, certifications, location, what you’re already using.

2. We match you to programs. We review your shop and match you to the carrier, fleet, and vendor programs you actually qualify for, and the DRP relationships worth pursuing.

3. We make the introductions. Where you’re a strong fit, we put you in front of the right people. On DRPs, third party claims administrator & fleet programs specifically, the final call always belongs to the carrier or administrator, and we’re upfront about that.

Frequently asked questions
about Top Shop Collision Group

DRP relationships, third-party claim administrator and fleet company relationships, and a vendor program with 30+ partners. All in one membership.

Carriers look at things like your CSI score, certifications, and Entegral Profile before adding a shop to an insurance direct repair program. We help make sure each of those is in shape before we make an introduction.

No. Be skeptical of anyone who says they can, since the decision always belongs to the insurer. What we guarantee is that we’ll represent your shop honestly and keep working the relationship on your behalf.

A third-party claims administrator manages carrier and fleet claim relationships on behalf of insurance companies, similar to how MSOs manage relationships for their own shops. Our partnership gives independent shops that same one-point-of-contact advantage.

Yes. We help fill out applications and make sure your shop is presented in the best possible light before anything is submitted.

You buy from vendors in our network the way you already do, and a portion comes back to you as a rebate on a regular basis. It’s designed to offset your membership cost and, for some shops, cover it entirely.

Currently, 30+ vendor partners across parts, paint, equipment, and more, with additional vendors coming soon. Schedule a call with our team to see our current vendor list.
