How long will the repairs take?

A number of factors can affect the repair period such as the extent of damage, insurer authorisation or the availability of parts. A small repair may take as little as two days, however, if your vehicle is badly damaged it could be under repair for as long as six weeks. When we see the vehicle we should be able to give a better indication of the timescales involved.

The damage was caused by another party; do I have to pay excess?

If you are having your car repaired under your own policy then you will have to pay your excess. If, however, the other party's insurance company agrees to pay for repairs, no excess will be payable by you.

When do I have to pay my excess?

We will request payment of any excess when your vehicle is booked in for repair. This amount must be paid in full by the end of the repair period at the latest.

Can you waive my policy excess amount?

A common question but unfortunately we can't do this!

What is an Approved Repairer?

Approved repairer status is dependent on meeting criteria laid down by each insurer. The insurer monitors not only the quality of the repair work but also equipment and service levels. Approved repairers have the authority to proceed with repairs (within certain cost limits). Other repairers must wait until an insurance company engineer inspects and authorises the repair cost before commencing work.

What type of vehicles do you repair?

We repair cars, light commercial vehicles (up to 3 tons) and motorcycles.

I have damage on my car, which is not related to my insurance accident claim, can I have this fixed at the same time?

You certainly can, it is often more economical to have all damage repaired at once. Why not ask for an estimate and then you can decide whether you wish to proceed or not.
