Manitoba Public Insurance partners with the collision repair industry to ensure the
highest quality of repairs. In Manitoba, MPI accredited repair shops have the right
tooling, equipment and training to complete proper and safe repairs.
Use the Find An Accredited Repair Shop online search tool at mpl.mb.ca to locate an
accredited repair shop of your choice that is qualified to repair your specific vehicle,
‘Accredited shops have demonstrated that they meet stringent repair requirements and
can properly and safely repair your vehicle to manufacturer standards, which is in the
interest of all vehicle owners and policy holders.
If you choose to take your vehicle to a repair shop that has not been accredited by
MPI, we cannot confirm the repairs will meet original manufacturer standards. This is
because we cannot verify the repair shop has the necessary tools, training, equipment
‘and access to repair procedures to repair your particular vehicle properly. This may
Impact the overall quality of repair and could affect warranty coverage an the vehicle
or lease returns, if applicable. Taking your vehicle to a shop that has not been
accredited by MPI may also lead to delays in the repair process as the repair will be
subject to mandatory MPI inspection before the vehicle is returned to you, Depending
on the severity of damage sustained, mid-repair inspections may also be required.
For more information on accredited repair shops, visit mpl.mb,ca,

See over for additional information that outlines costs and quality measures associated
with your repair.The following information outlines the costs and quality measures associated with your repair. This is being provided
for information purposes only and does not change, replace or modify any of the terms or conditions of your insurance
policy.
DEDUCTIBLE
The deductible is the uninsured portion of the repair costs to your vehicle for which you are responsible. Once the
repairs have been satisfactorily completed, the applicable deductible noted on the Estimate Summary must be paid to
the repair shop.
BETTERMENT
‘The purpose of your automobile insurance is to place you back into the same or similar position you were in prior to
‘an accident. If worn parts on your vehicle are replaced with new parts, you may have to pay a portion of the cost
involved. For example, if a tire with 50% tread wear is replaced with a new tire, you would have to contribute 50% of
the replacement cost, The same principle applies to all parts that had been previously damaged, rusted, worn, or
deteriorated.
When the betterment total is less than $50 including taxes, the customer is not responsible to pay. When the
betterment total is $50 or greater including taxes, the customer is responsible for the full betterment amount.
REPAIR ALLOWANCE
Ifa previously damaged or rusted part sustains further claimable damage, the repair estimate may show a labour
allowance towards repairing that item. The allowance represents how much will be contributed by Manitoba Public
Insurance towards repairing the claimable damage. Any additional costs relating to the previous damage can be
discussed with the repair shop and become the vehicle owner's responsibility.
EXCLUSIONS
‘There is no insurance coverage for: parts that malfunction as a result of mechanical failure or breakdown, rust,
corrosion, wear and tear, freezing or explosion within the combustion chamber, to vehicle contents, etc. (For further
details on these and other exclusions, ask your adjuster.)
PROPER REPAIR
Random inspections of repaired vehicles are arranged to ensure that all repairs are properly completed in accordance
with our estimate. If you visit a facility that Is not accredited, Manitoba Public Insurance must inspect and approve the
repairs. If you have any questions or concerns regarding repairs, please contact your adjuster.
RECYCLED, ALTERNATE AND AFTERMARKET PARTS:
‘Manitoba Public Insurance’s commitment is to place you back into the same position you were in prior to the loss.
Installing recycled, alternate or aftermarket parts in conjunction with Manitoba Public Insurance's parts policies and
business rules achieves this objective,
‘Where recycled parts are installed, betterment may not apply. In cases where recycled parts are not available, and
new factory parts are installed, you would, where applicable, incur betterment (defined above).
When a factory recycled, alternate or aftermarket part is installed, warranty protection will be equal to that provided
by the original manufacturer.
Recycled, alternate and aftermarket parts are purchased at prices lower than new parts. This helps save on repair
costs and helps keeps insurance premiums low. Recycled parts are also environmentally friendly.
TEAR DOWN OF MECHANICAL COMPONENTS:
‘Tear down of mechanical components such as engines, transmissions and differentials can only be authorized by the
vehicle owner. Costs associated with tear down are the initial responsibility of the insured. If damages are loss
related, all expenses, less depreciation, are paid by Manitoba Public Insurance.
Should you have questions or require further details, please contact your adjuster.
