You Have the Right to Choose Your Repairer — And We’ll Pay Your Insurance Excess
If you’ve recently been involved in a vehicle accident and are making a claim through your insurance company, you may have been told to take your car to a specific “approved” repairer. What many drivers don’t realise is:
👉 You have the legal right to choose who repairs your car.
At AutoBodies in Clevedon, we work with all major insurance companies — and if you choose us for your accident repair, we’ll even pay your insurance excess (subject to terms). That means you get high-quality repairs without being out of pocket.
Do I Have to Use My Insurer’s Approved Repairer?
Absolutely not. While insurers may recommend a particular bodyshop, UK law gives you full freedom to choose where your car is repaired following an accident.
Here’s what to keep in mind:
Your warranty and insurance cover remain valid when you choose your own repairer.
You’re not obligated to use your insurer’s “network garage.”
The only requirement is that the repairer must be VAT-registered and issue an estimate.
At AutoBodies, we meet all criteria to carry out fully insured accident repairs — and we follow OEM repair standards using manufacturer-matched paint and parts.
We’ll Pay Your Insurance Excess
To make things even easier, we offer an exclusive benefit for customers who nominate AutoBodies to carry out their insurance repairs.
💷 We pay your excess directly to your insurer on your behalf.
No hidden costs. No complicated forms. Just high-quality accident repair work without the sting of an unexpected bill. This offer is available for non-fault and fault claims, subject to terms and claim approval. Speak to us for full details.
