For many people, the most frustrating thing about having a minor accident is waiting to get your vehicle repaired especially if it is not your fault. The first thing to decide is whether to get it fixed yourself or whether the damage needs to be repaired through vehicle insurance either your own or a third party’s insurance. This decision needs to be weighed up because a claim on your insurance will usually result in an increase in your insurance premiums. Obviously if the accident is not your fault the other party’s insurance will pay for your repairs or the other party may offer to pay for the repairs privately.
A good place to start is to look online for accident repairers if you are going to try to do it yourself. Look at reviews online or ask friends and colleagues for recommendations is useful. Getting an estimate for the work to be done is important so that the comparisons can be made with other repairers. Always shop around for a good deal but keep in mind that finding a reputable repairer is the most important factor and should the repair be unsatisfactory you may have to have it redone at a further cost to you.
