Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I drive my car while waiting for repairs?

    Whether you can safely drive your car while waiting for repairs depends on the nature of the damage. If it’s purely cosmetic—like minor scratches, small dents or a cracked bumper—then driving might be fine in the short term. However, if there's any structural damage, suspension or steering issues, exposed wiring, or lighting faults, you should not drive the car. Driving a compromised vehicle could be unsafe and may also void insurance coverage if another accident occurs. If you're unsure, ask a professional for an assessment or arrange a tow to a repairer for inspection.

  • What happens if the damage isn’t covered by insurance?

    If your smash repair isn’t covered by insurance—whether due to the type of policy, claim denial or choosing to handle it privately—you’ll need to pay out of pocket. In this case, many repairers offer itemised quotes, payment plans or flexible repair options to help reduce the upfront cost. Some will prioritise safety-critical repairs first and delay or simplify cosmetic work to suit your budget. It’s important to be transparent with your repairer about your needs and limitations—they may be able to tailor a solution that keeps your car safe and presentable without unnecessary expense.

  • Is it worth repairing an older car after a smash?

    Whether it’s worth repairing an older car after an accident depends on several factors, including the cost of repairs, the market value of the car, its condition prior to the accident and your individual needs. If the cost of repairs is close to or exceeds the vehicle’s market value, insurers may classify it as a total loss or write-off. However, if the car is mechanically sound, has sentimental value, or suits your lifestyle, repairing it may still make sense—especially if it’s cheaper than replacing the vehicle. You should also consider how a repaired older vehicle will perform long-term, whether it will continue to pass registration inspections and what its resale value might be post-repair. A quality repairer can help assess the condition and advise on whether a repair is cost-effective or not.
