CHOICE OF REPAIRER

When choosing an insurance policy for your vehicle it is highly recommended that you include “choice of repairer” in your policy. This will give you the right to select a repairer of your choice, ensuring your vehicle is repaired to manufacturer approved standards.

If you want your car returned to pre accident condition without compromise using only genuine parts make sure you have choice of repairer in you policy. Don’t rely on your insurance company who are often more concerned by the bottom line then the quality of repairs. 

Having choice of repairer is essential to ensure that you are not limited to rigid terms of a policy that has stipulations in its fine print, hidden in a thirty page PDF file that no one has time to read. 

It’s your vehicle and you should be free to choose who repairs it in the event of an accident. Most motorists would agree with this statement. Unfortunately, for many, this may not be the reality. Having a ‘choice of repairer’ option in your vehicle insurance policy is important if you want more say in who repairs your car. Being able to choose your repairer can have many benefits. With your repairer you’ll have peace of mind knowing they will care for you and your vehicle.

• Your car deserves safe & quality repairs. Your chosen repairer will ensure to quote your car based on quality & not costing. They will repair your car as if it were there own.

• Insurance company’s are using recommended repairs that are doing fixed pricing repairs or are bound by strict cost targets.

• You can choose local. Being able to choose a repairer close to home will save travel and time having your car repaired locally by a family owned & operated repairer is generally beneficial for both parties involved.
