MPI Direct Repair is a program from Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) that lets you skip the in-person MPI estimate and go straight to an approved body shop — like Crown Autobody & Glass — to get your damage assessed and repaired.
Here’s how it works:
🚗 What is MPI Direct Repair?
It’s a streamlined repair process where approved auto body shops (called Direct Repair facilities) handle the damage estimate and the repair — all in one place.
Instead of going to an MPI Service or Claim Centre first, you go directly to the repair shop after reporting your claim.
🛠️ How the Process Works
- Report Your Claim to MPI (online or by phone)
- If eligible, you’ll be given a Direct Repair eligibility code
- Choose a Direct Repair shop (like Crown Autobody)
- The shop:
- Does the damage estimate
- Submits the estimate to MPI
- Starts repairs once approved
✅ Benefits of MPI Direct Repair
- No MPI appointment needed
- Faster repairs
- Convenient — everything handled in one location
- You choose the repair shop you’re most comfortable with
- Approved shops meet MPI’s quality and training standards
It’s basically MPI’s way of making the repair process quicker and more customer-friendly. Let me know if you want to check if a specific claim type qualifies for Direct Repair — not all types do, but most collision and comprehensive damage claims are eligible.
