The car accident claim process

Parts and paints are ordered in - The repair begins

With the repair estimate authorised by the third-party insurer, the accident repair centre handling your vehicle's repairs begins the repair process. This starts with the repair centre ordering the necessary parts and paints.

We’re proud to put quality first

We believe that, as the accident wasn't your fault, it’s only fair that your vehicle deserves to be fully restored to its pre-accident condition and value. To do this, we use the highest quality materials for your vehicle.

When it comes to your specific vehicle, this means repairing the way the manufacturer wants to repair it: Using only new, manufacturer-approved parts and paints.

Unlike an insurer-approved repair, our BSI Accredited Repair Network are held to a higher standard of repair. Your car is in the best place for its repair.

Using Manufacturer-approved parts and paint

We use manufacturer-approved parts and paints in all our repairs to maintain your vehicle's safety, performance, and longevity.

Safety: Genuine parts are designed and tested to meet rigorous safety standards, ensuring they function as intended in the event of another accident.
Fit and Finish: Manufacturer-approved parts are guaranteed to fit perfectly. Using these original parts and paints also match the original aesthetics of your vehicle, maintaining its appearance and resale value.
Performance: OEM (Original equipment manufacturer) parts are engineered to work seamlessly with your vehicle's systems, preserving its performance and fuel efficiency.
Your vehicle's warranty: If your vehicle was still in warranty when the accident happened, using manufacturer-approved parts can be a necessity to your warranty continuing after the accident and repair (See your warranty terms and conditions).
Warranty of parts: Using genuine parts often comes with manufacturer warranties, giving you added peace of mind.

Parts Ordering and Tracking

The repairer places orders for all necessary parts. They track the orders to ensure timely delivery. If there are any potential delays, they will communicate this with your dedicated claims handler, who will update you right away.

Preparation for Repair

While awaiting parts delivery, the repairer prepares the vehicle for the repair process. This may involve dismantling damaged sections, cleaning the repair areas, and protecting adjacent panels from overspray or accidental damage.
