If you’ve been involved in a non-fault accident, your first instinct might be to contact your own insurer. But did you know you have the right to choose a different path—one that can save you time, protect your no-claims bonus, and help you get back on the road faster?
At AutoBodies, we work closely with trusted accident management companies to help our customers navigate the aftermath of an accident without the usual stress and delays. Here's how they can help—and why this route might be the smarter choice.
1. Complete Claim Handling—So You Don’t Have To
Accident management companies take full control of the claims process on your behalf. That means:
24/7 accident recovery and transport to our bodyshop
Damage assessment and independent repair authorisation
Direct communication with the at-fault driver’s insurer
From start to finish, everything is handled for you. No endless phone calls or confusing paperwork—just clear updates and fast results.
2. Your Insurance and No-Claims Bonus Stay Intact
One of the biggest advantages of using an accident management service is that your own insurance remains untouched. The claim is made directly against the at-fault driver’s policy, meaning:
No excess to pay
No damage to your no-claims discount
No increase to your future premiums
You also avoid the risk of being directed to an insurer’s preferred repairer, where cost—not quality—can be the priority.
3. Like-for-Like Replacement Vehicles
Whether you rely on your car for everyday life or your van for business, being off the road can be a major disruption. Accident management companies ensure you’re supplied with a like-for-like replacement vehicle quickly—often within 24 hours—so you can carry on with minimal interruption.
This service is especially valuable for business owners and fleet operators, where vehicle downtime affects productivity and revenue.
4. High-Quality Repairs, Done Right
By choosing your own accident repair centre—like AutoBodies—you maintain control over the quality of your repairs. Our experienced technicians use OEM-approved parts, advanced paint-matching technology, and manufacturer-recommended methods to ensure your vehicle is repaired to the highest standard.
Plus, all of our repairs come with a lifetime ownership warranty for peace of mind.
5. Support With Legal Claims and Loss Recovery
Accident management companies can also help you recover uninsured losses, including:
Out-of-pocket expenses
Lost income
Personal belongings damaged in the accident
Legal fees if a solicitor is required
They work with legal experts to make sure you’re not left out of pocket from someone else’s mistake.
