Insurance
companies arrange accident repairs to keep their own costs down.
Does keeping their costs down mean repairing your car cheaply? What
level of service and quality of repair will you receive? Will
original manufacturer parts be used or imitation parts? Will your
manufacturers warranty remain intact?
Imitation, or non-OE, parts may not
fit correctly. They are sometimes provided without surface, or rust,
protection. Using non-OE parts will invalidate your manufacturer’s
warranty. After your home, your car is probably the most valuable
possession you own. You and your family will travel in your motor
vehicle at speeds up to 70 mph. Don’t accept any compromise in the
quality of repair to your car.
We will manage your insurance claim,
saving you a lot of time and hassle and, we will choose a quality
assured, tried and tested repairer for you. You do not have to use
the insurer’s repairer. Your rights in this area were confirmed by a
directive from the Office of Fair Trading issued in 1993.
