Vehicle Repairs.
If you’ve been in a car accident, you know the process of getting your vehicle repaired can be both time-consuming and stressful.
As an accident management company, we can help take the stress out of the situation by managing the repairs for you.
We work hard to get your car repaired and back on the road as fast as possible. By working with reputable, approved repair shops, you can be sure your vehicle will be repaired to the highest standards.
Insurance companies are known to use cheaper garages with less qualified technicians to save money, these garages are also known to use used parts during repairs.
If your vehicle is under warranty, repairing it using non-manufacturer-approved parts can void the warranty.
Comparable vehicle replacement.
Legally, If your vehicle is involved in an accident caused by another party you are entitled to a replacement vehicle.
If you go through your own insurance for your non-fault road traffic accident claim, you’ll likely end up with a low-spec courtesy car. Although, this courtesy car isn’t guaranteed for the full duration that you’re off the road and you may also not get it straight away.
Auto Claims Assist ensures that you are provided with a vehicle that meets your individual needs by maintaining a large fleet of high-spec vehicles.
Unlike an insurer’s courtesy car, which may not be available right away, or for the entire recovery/repair process, our service is focused on delivering your comparable vehicle from within 4 hours of the non-fault incident.
