We work with most major insurance companies. Our panel beaters have taken care of the local community for over 30 years. We are pre-authorised for most claims and can deal directly with your insurance company to progress your repair. We care about you and your car and we want you back on the road faster.
Proceeding through your own insurer is usually more convenient and time effective for you as your insurer is working directly with you and your repairer. In dealing with a third party, you may not have the same flexibility in choice of repairer and in having the repairs carried out in a timely fashion. Contact your insurer to be sure. Once you have a claim number, we can provide an estimate.
