True.
However I would add that if the cost of repair is relatively small (say, for example, $5,000 or less) you might want to consider paying that amount out-of-pocket. Odds are you have a deductible anyway and fixing it w/o your insurance company knowing about it might save you from premium increases that you otherwise would not have had.
