Yes, you have the legal right to select your own repair shop when making a car insurance claim in Victoria. Under Victorian law, insurers cannot force you to use their preferred workshop, a right endorsed by the Auto Mechanic Repair Association (AMRA). This allows you to prioritize craftsmanship and quality over the cost-cutting targets often found in insurer-preferred networks.
We specialize in assisting drivers through this process by offering:
- Stress-Free Claims Handling: We act as your insurance liaison, working with all car insurance companies and managing all paperwork and negotiations on your behalf.
- Free Not-at-Fault Loan Cars: If you are not at fault in the accident, we provide a replacement vehicle for the full duration of your repairs to keep you mobile.
- High-Quality Repairs: With over 20 years of experience, we use genuine parts and OEM-compliant methods, including precise color matching and paintless dent removal.
- 24/7 Towing and Recovery: We can arrange to pick up your vehicle immediately from anywhere in Melbourne’s western suburbs, including Ravenhall, Caroline Springs, and Melton.
To exercise your right, simply notify your insurer that we are your nominated repairer. We will then coordinate the assessment and secure repair authorization so you can focus on getting back on the road.
