Accident Repair Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
You can always choose who repairs your car. Be wary that your car insurer may try and direct you to a garage that is more economical for them, so that the fix is cheaper, but ultimately the decision is always yours.
The insurance company could claim that they cannot provide a guarantee if a particular bodyshop is used, however in our case we provide a guarantee for all our work so you will be protected no matter what.
The Bodyshop are firm believers that you should receive the highest quality job for an accident repair. You are likely paying a lot of money for insurance, so you should not be skimping on quality for repairs.
You can feasibly repair your car yourself however we would not recommend it. Damage caused from accidents are typically substantial and require a skilled mechanics to ensure a safe, reliable and top-quality repair.
Additionally, if your vehicle is in a salvage state after an accident, you cannot simply return your car to the road after fixes are put in place. Your automobile will have to pass engineering tests to guarantee that it is safe to return to the road, something that The Bodyshop include in our service.
This will depend on your own insurance paperwork, which may cover specific vehicle warranties. Typical coverage includes stone chip repairs and engine replacements, however these are highly likely to be included as ‘add-ons’ rather than any standard policy.
We recommend contacting your insurer for a conclusive answer.

However, please bear in mind that the timeframe may vary depending on the severity of the vehicle’s damage.
