Accident Repairs
If you have been caught up in an accident and are thinking of going through your insurance please do contact us first, as we have much experience working with all insurance companies and claims assessors. We can handle the process for you - once we have a claim number you can sit back and forget about everything until we have repaired your car. As a fiercely independent bodyshop, and not being on any insurers "approved bodyshop" list, means we have full control of the repair process, negotiating with assessors to get agreement on the correct methods of repair for your vehicle. It also means we can work on all makes and models.
Contrary to popular belief you do have the legal right to choose who repairs your car, something that a lot of insurers will keep to themselves, so they can make more money from your accident by using one of their "approved bodyshops" (the labour rate most insurers pay their approved bodyshops can be very low, so when the bodyshop isnt paid a fair price this can often be obvious in the quality of their repairs). They also only need one estimate despite what they might tell you.
An interesting read is an article from the Telegraph newspaper, called "Insurers Cash in On your Cash", published after a screening of a Dispatches documentary for Channel 4 where an accident was staged to show just how insurers really do try to cash in on your bad luck. See the full article here...
We have a full professional bodyshop here, complete with a spray booth capable of painting a complete car. A mobile service with a tent on your drive just cannot compete on quality. We can also arrange a courtesy car for you if necessary.
So if you are thinking of claiming on your car insurance call and have a chat with Jayne first for invaluable advice and support.
