Courtesy Vehicles
We can provide you with a replacement vehicle to keep you mobile for the duration of the repairs. We also offer a free collection & delivery service to ensure any inconvenience to you is kept to a minimum.
Fleet Management
We specialize in fleet management and understand the importance of getting repairs carried out quickly, to a high standard, at a very competitive rate.
When a company is paying for the repairs themselves rather than claiming through insurance, we know cost and speed is imperative. We customise the service according to your requirements. Replacing expensive parts is not always essential or practical, due to the vast years of experience our technicians have, we can often seamlessly repair damaged panels if this is your preference. We will always advise you if this is an option and ultimately the decision is yours.
We have a team of claims coordinators that can deal with all insurance claims (fault and non-fault) from start to finish. We aim to get repairs authorised within 48 hours, and then book your vehicle in at a convenient time, agreeing a mutual deadline for the duration of repairs.
Commercial Vehicles
Our purpose built commercial spray oven enables us to accommodate commercial vehicle repairs to all light commercial vehicles and vans. We can repaint in your corporate colours and are also able to arrange sign writing of company logos at a competitive rate.
Your rights
Insurance companies arrange accident repairs to keep their costs down and in some cases may try and coerce you into using one of their own repairers to cut costs. These repairers may not be local to you and your vehicle could in some cases travel long distances to reach the approved bodyshop. This can cause major delays and result in your vehicle being in for repair for far longer than needed.
Many insurance companies will tell you that should you use your own repairer you need to get two quotes, this is often just a tactic to discourage you by making it inconvenient for you. You only need one quote, and we will take care of that for you by dealing directly with your insurer providing them with a computerised Audatex estimate. Our repairs are carried out to the highest standard and only use original manufacturers parts so your manufacturers warranty will remain intact. All work carries a comprehensive guarantee.
You don't have to compromise, all our advice is honest, professional, unbiased and completely free of charge.
