Claiming On Car Insurance For Bodywork Repairs?

If your car needs bodywork repairs, you may want to go through your car insurance. Almost every car owner will experience damage to their vehicle at some point. Whether that be a personal accident, damage caused by other drivers or even vandalism, damaged bodywork is regrettably quite common. If the damage is bothering you but repairs are too expensive for you, going through insurance is an option. Let’s learn more about how this is done.

Making An Insurance Claim

If you’re going to ask your insurance provider to cover the bodywork repairs you need, you’ll need to give them some details. They’ll probably want to know the date and time of the incident, where it happened, information about any other drivers which were involved (if there were) and a description of the damage. Some insurers will also ask for pictures, and they may send an assessor out to look at your car in person.

If they agree to cover the repairs, they’ll provide you with a list of approved places to send your car. However, don’t be fooled into thinking that you’re restricted to only those places. You’re free to use any garage you like, as long as they’re happy to work with your insurer.
