Non Fault Accident Repair Services
Here at TouchUps Body Shop, we provide non-fault accident repair services for vehicles in Glasgow and the surrounding areas.
If your vehicle has been involved in a crash that was caused by a fellow driver, we are here to help you.
What Are Non-Fault Accident Repairs?
If another driver was responsible for the damage to your vehicle, you may be entitled to a repair without using your own insurance policy. This is known as a non-fault accident repair. Rather than making a claim on your own cover and risking your no-claims bonus, the cost of the repair is pursued through the at-fault party's insurer.
To get the process started, we'll need a few details from you, including the other driver's name, their insurance information, and a police reference number if one was issued at the scene.
If you've been involved in an accident that wasn't your fault, our aim is to get your vehicle repaired to the highest standard and get you back on the road as quickly as possible, without you being left out of pocket. We'll handle the claim process on your behalf and deal directly with the at-fault party's insurer, so you don't have to.
How TouchUps Body Shop Can Help
We specialise in returning accident-damaged vehicles to their pre-accident condition, whether cars have panel damage, paintwork scuffs, or more significant structural impact.
Our technicians are highly experienced, with the skills and equipment required to return your vehicle to its original, pristine condition. We always use approved repair methods and premium materials to ensure your car is repaired properly, handling all the repair work ourselves, and getting your vehicle looking and performing as it should.
What You Gain with Non-Fault Accident Repairs
Opting for a non-fault repair route offers several advantages over going through your own insurer, such as:
- The repair is handled through the other party’s insurance, so your no-claims bonus is protected.
- Rather than being directed to an insurer’s approved garage, you are free to choose your own repairer.
- You won’t be responsible for paying an excess on the repair costs.
- A courtesy car may be available while your vehicle is off the road.
What are the Differences Between Non-Fault and Fault Repairs?
With fault repairs, the costs are claimed through your own insurance policy, typically meaning you pay your excess and potentially lose some or all of your no-claims bonus at renewal. For non-fault repairs, your own policy should be untouched, with the other driver’s insurance covering the repair cost so that you can keep your no-claims discount.
What to Expect During the Repair Process
Repair timescales vary depending on the extent of the damage. Minor panel repairs and paint corrections can often be completed within a day or two, while more significant damage may take longer to address properly.
Either way, we’ll provide you with a realistic timescale upfront and keep you updated throughout.
Courtesy Cars for Non-Fault Accident Repairs
Being without your vehicle can be highly inconvenient, which is why, where available, we arrange a courtesy car while your vehicle is with us, so you can carry on your daily routine as normal while we take care of the repair.
