Rising Auto Insurance Costs Lead Some To Take Potentially Pricey Risks

Along with everything else that's costing more these days, add auto insurance to the list. And if you haven't looked closely at your recent renewal, you should – some customers are being hit with 20%, 30%, even 50% increases.

"It's across the board," says Mark Walker Jr, owner of Walker Autobody and Frame in South Dallas. So, you could say that he's a middleman in the process and can agree that insurance companies are paying more to repair vehicles.

"Outrageous," he admits. "We're fixing cars now every day that cost $10,000, $15,000 and $20,000."
