Do I have to use the body shop my insurance recommends in Illinois?
No. Illinois consumer protection laws prohibit steering. You have the right to any licensed body shop for your repair. If an adjuster tells you otherwise, ask them to point to the specific policy clause — most won’t be able to, because there isn’t one.
