2. Plan – parts, paint, time and sign-offs are sorted before work starts.
3. Repair and paint – the right team does the job for the type of damage.
4. Quality check and handover – we check the work against the quote and finish standard before release.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I buy back my written-off car from the insurer?

It depends on the damage type. Economic write-offs (Code 2/3) are often worth buying back if repair costs are reasonable. We offer pre-buyback assessments.

What's the difference between Code 2 and Code 3 write-offs?

Code 2 means stolen/recovered (can be re-registered as normal). Code 3 means accident damage — the vehicle gets permanent Code 3 status but can be roadworthy and insurable.

Can I insure a Code 3 vehicle?

Yes, most insurers will cover Code 3 vehicles, though premiums may be slightly higher.
