How Our Claims Assistance Process Works
Systematic approach removing uncertainty and stress from the process
1. Initial Consultation
Thorough assessment of all visible damage, discuss accident circumstances, review police reports, and comprehensive vehicle photography. Completely free with no obligation.
2. Claim Lodgement
We handle the entire claim lodgement process. If you haven't notified your insurer, we guide you through that initial call and follow up with full documentation.
3. Assessment Coordination
We coordinate with your insurer's assessors, schedule convenient inspection times, and walk them through all damage including safety-critical issues.
4. Authorization & Approval
Review insurer's authorization carefully. If additional work is needed but not approved, we negotiate on your behalf with full technical justifications.
5. Repair Execution
Qualified technicians perform all repairs following manufacturer specifications. We handle any supplementary claims for hidden damage immediately.
6. Billing & Settlement
We handle all billing directly with your insurance company. You only pay your policy excess—we manage all other financial transactions.
We Work With All Major Insurance Providers
Established relationships with every major insurance company in Australia
Whether you're insured with NRMA, RACQ, Suncorp, AAMI, Allianz, QBE, Youi, Budget Direct, or any other provider, we have extensive experience with their specific claims processes and documentation requirements.
We're listed as a preferred repairer with several major insurance companies, which often means faster claim processing. However, Australian consumer law gives you the right to choose where your vehicle is repaired.
We never compromise on repair quality to meet insurer cost pressures. If an insurance company disputes the necessity of certain repairs, we provide detailed technical justifications and safety arguments.
Insurance Partners Include:
At-Fault vs. Not-At-Fault Claims
The claims process differs significantly depending on liability
Not-At-Fault Claims
When you're not at fault, the responsible party's insurance should cover all repair costs—typically with no excess and no impact on your no-claim bonus. We work with the at-fault party's insurer to secure approval.
At-Fault Claims
Your comprehensive insurance covers repair costs, subject to your policy excess. We provide honest assessments to help you decide whether to claim through insurance or pay privately for minor damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about insurance claims
Simple claims with straightforward damage might be approved within 2–3 business days, while complex cases could take 1–2 weeks. Once approved, repair times typically range from a few days for minor repairs to 2–3 weeks for extensive collision damage. We provide realistic time estimates at every stage.
Yes! Australian consumer law gives you the right to choose where your vehicle is repaired, regardless of whether your insurer has preferred repairer networks. If your insurer pressures you to use a different repairer, we can explain your rights and advocate for your choice.
Hidden damage is very common—structural or mechanical issues often aren't visible until panels are removed. When we discover additional damage, we immediately photograph it, document it thoroughly, and submit a supplementary claim to your insurer. We don't proceed without authorization.
For insurance repairs, you're typically only responsible for your policy excess, usually collected when you pick up your repaired vehicle. We handle all other financial transactions directly with your insurance company.
