Frequently asked questions on accident repair

It’s unlikely. Insurance usually covers repairs from accidents, theft, or vandalism. Regular maintenance and wear-and-tear are generally not included.

It depends on the damage. Small dents and scratches might cost a few hundred pounds. Big repairs, like replacing panels or repainting, can run into thousands.

You can usually choose any shop you like. Just keep in mind that if it’s not on your insurance’s list, you might have to cover any extra costs.

It depends on the damage to your car. If the car is safe, you can drive it until repairs are done. But if the damage is serious and risks your safety, don’t drive!

First, make sure everyone is safe. Call emergency services if needed. Swap insurance details with the other driver. Take photos of the scene. After that, let your insurance company know to start your claim.

Most repair shops offer a warranty on their work. This usually covers parts and labour for a certain time. Be sure to ask about the warranty details before you start.

Good repairs shouldn’t hurt your resale value too much. But if your car’s been in a few accidents or the repairs were shoddy, it might drop in value. Always choose a repair shop you can trust to keep your car’s value up.

If this happens, let the garage know. Most places will fix any problems and make sure you’re happy. If this doesn’t work, have a chat with your insurance company.

This depends on the damage to your car. Small repairs might be done in a few days. Large fixes could take weeks. For a clear idea, ask your garage for an estimate.
