Process

How your insurance repair works.

Most of our repairs are arranged through an insurer. From the initial claim to handing your vehicle back, we manage the repair process and keep you informed along the way.

Steps 01 to 02

Claim and booking

01

Your insurer nominates us

The claim comes through your insurer. We contact you to arrange bringing your car in.

02

Booked in and parts ordered

We confirm your repair dates and order everything the job requires, including extras such as bull bars or custom wheels. We organise these through our suppliers, so you don’t have to chase them yourself. Many repairs are completed within a week, with your vehicle typically ready for collection the following week. Timing can vary depending on insurer approval and parts availability.

Steps 03 to 05

Repair planning

03

Assessment and measurement

We photograph any additional damage, identify the required parts and measure the vehicle on a Global Jig system where structural alignment is required.

04

Full system scan

We scan the vehicle’s electronic systems for faults, helping identify any issues before repairs begin.

05

Liaison with insurer and manufacturer

We confirm the repair method against the manufacturer’s published procedures and work with the insurer to approve the required repairs.

Steps 06 to 08

The repair

06

Strip down

The damaged area is stripped back so the full extent of the damage can be assessed and repaired properly – not simply covered over.

07

Structural and panel repair

Damaged sections are repaired or replaced to manufacturer specification, using the correct repair and welding processes, then measured again.

08

Paint and refinishing

We use PPG Envirobase waterborne paint, applied with SATA equipment and refinished in a Lowbake spray booth.

Steps 09 to 11

Back to you

09

Reassembly and calibration

The vehicle is reassembled, with driver assistance systems recalibrated where required by a specialist.

10

Final finish

The vehicle is buffed and detailed inside and out.

11

Quality check and handover

We carry out a final check, then contact you to arrange collection.

Calibration

Modern cars use radar, cameras and blind-spot sensors to support their safety systems. After certain repairs, these systems may need specialist recalibration to make sure they continue to work correctly. We make sure this is done before your vehicle is returned.

Specification

Repairing to the standard your vehicle was built to.

Your vehicle was engineered and tested to specific manufacturer standards. We follow the manufacturer’s published repair procedures, measure structural repairs and use the specified materials and welding methods.

We work with manufacturers and insurers throughout the repair process and don’t substitute repair methods that aren’t approved by the manufacturer.

We stand behind our workmanship with a five-year warranty on the repairs we carry out.
