At the accident, things you should do.
- Stay Calm
- Turn off ignition, turn on hazard lights.
- Stay off the road and ensure safety.
- Do not admin liability.
- Use our accident assist card to take down all required information
- Arrange a tow truck if required
Do NOT drive an un-roadworthy vehicle from an accident scene, it is against the law and your insurance company will not cover you!
Choosing an Insurance Company
At Kings Panels our vast hands-on, practical experience in dealing with a wide range of insurance companies enables us to advise you on your best choice for car insurance.
Do not buy insurance on price alone. Cheap insurance MAY indicate problems or delays when you need to claim.
Like most “bargains“, you get what you pay for!
We can recommend some well known insurers who can offer you a suitable, price competitive quote.
Always ask an insurer:
- Do I have a choice of repairer.
- What is your policy on genuine/second hand parts.
- Can I get an agreed value policy so I know the dollar figure if my vehicle is a total loss.
Repair Estimates
Differences in repair estimates are common.
A lower estimate may not include all the necessary parts and labour, or repair techniques may be different such as repair or replace and new vs second hand or reconditioned.
If you are unsure why one estimate is different from another please ASK US.
We can help you compare the quotes.
