Car Insurance Repair Claim
Car Insurance Claim
Are you confused about car insurance repair in Melbourne? We all know that car insurance is a necessary protection that you simply can’t do without. But, dealing with the insurance company to make a claim can be time-consuming and frustrating.
While some insurance companies are easy to deal with, others make you jump through numerous hoops just to make a simple claim and get your vehicle repaired after an accident.
Plus, some companies even want to dictate who you use for the repairs and which quotes they’re willing to accept. This can often leave you out of pocket if you want an excellent repair job.
But, at Bridge Road Body Works, you don’t have to worry about all those insurance hassles. We’ve dealt with insurance claims for over 40 years and are happy to take care of this for you.
Common Insurance Claims
We’ve been in the auto repair industry for over 40 years and have built up a highly regarded reputation for our quality repairs and workmanship. We have a fantastic team of skilled and professional panel beaters, car technicians and spray painters. These highly trained professionals take great pride in their work and our many happy customers are a testament to their dedication.
Here are some of the common insurance claims that we deal with on a daily basis.
Not-at-fault Accident Insurance Claims
If you’ve been involved in an accident and it was not your fault, we’re happy to help you fill out the insurance claim and negotiate a speedy repair with your insurance company.
At-fault Accident Insurance Claims
Even if the accident or damage was your fault, we can still assist you with your insurance claim to get a fast repair.
Car Accidents With No Insurance
If you don’t have insurance cover for car repairs, we’ll provide you with a comprehensive quote to get the repairs done with a minimum of fuss.
Not-at-fault – Uninsured
As long as the other driver has insurance and you obtained their details, we’ll be able to negotiate with their insurance company to get your vehicle repaired.
The process to get your car insurance repair in Melbourne completed after an accident is as follows:
-
At the time of the accident, make sure you obtain all the details from the other driver including their insurance company.
-
Contact us as soon as possible so that we can assist you.
-
Contact your insurance company and let them know that Bridge Road Body Works is your preferred repairer. Make sure you get a claim number.
-
If your car is driveable, bring it into our workshop so that we can assess and provide a quote. If it’s not driveable, let us know and we can arrange collection. We’ll negotiate with your insurance company on your behalf.
-
Once your insurance company authorises the repairs, we’ll book your car in for the repair work. When the work has been completed, we’ll let you know.

I went to Bridge Road Body Works to get a quote for a 2cm scratch. Luke came to see it and found it was just a paint over it and removed it within 2 seconds without charge. I was impressed with his professional and friendly service and would not hesitate to recommend this company.

Lived 100m away from this sterling service for 15 years. For a couple of years there they (tongue in cheek) referred to me as their best customer. A lot can go wrong when your car is parked on a narrow yet busy street.As a many time repeat customer our relationship grew and all, everything was good. I particularly enjoy the upbeat yet respectful staff. Also that as busy as they always are; they take the time to give considered advice and make time to go the extra mile.

Can recommend. 5 Star service for a non fault insurance thing. They helped from the get go recommending a course of action with the other party and handled the whole thing from there. The actual work on the panel was first class and they detailed in and out for cherry on top.

Paul and his team are complete professionals. I was in an not at fault accident when I was not insured. Needless to say, I was pretty anxious about my car, but after it was towed to Bridge Road Body Works (at no cost to me), Paul handled everything from start to finish, putting me at complete ease with situation, and even organising a hire car for me on the day of the a accident (again at no cost to me).My car was repaired just in time for Christmas, handed back to me looking brand new, and was even washed, polished and the interior detailed immaculately.The whole experience left me feeling grateful for how everything was handled, despite the accident being a traumatic experience.I’d go back to Paul and his team for any panel works in the future, knowing I’d be able to trust his advice, and that my car would be in safe hands.Oh, and shout out to Luke and Rose who handled the customer experience side of things exceptionally! They are an asset to the business and their communication during the whole process was outstanding.

The guys at this shop made my experience smooth and without any hassle. They are extremely professional and have the customer's wants and needs at the centre of their service. My car was driven into by another motorists and the detailing and work they did to fix my SUV had it looking BRAND NEW. The wash at the end was amazing and I am so thankful to Paul and Luke! THANK-YOU GUYS!

I took my car in for a glass replacement repair and the I want to thank Luke for the professional and prompt work done on it. I liked the acknowledgement on arriving, they knew the job was booked in and ready to go, and moved the car inside immediately so the broken glass/window is not exposed to outside environment. Promised completion was spot on and provided advanced SMS messaging for car pick up. The car had a full wash was great as a complimentary service. All paper work was seamless. Would highly recommend their service.

Paul and the team have taken care of us twice in the space of as many months and have done an incredible job. The first time I hit a pole just before Christmas (the worst possible time!) and the second time our car was vandalized & was scratched up. The first time I took my car here I had crashed it. I already had 3 quotes from other businesses & they ran into the thousands..... I was almost in tears wondering how I was going to afford it until I got a quote from these guys It was so much more affordable & they did such an amazing job. The team is easy to deal with. I highly recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions
If your insurance policy includes ‘your choice of repairer’, then you can choose your preferred panel beater to complete your repairs.
This will depend on the level of insurance that you have. In most cases, a comprehensive policy will cover the repairs.
No, this is something that needs to be written into your policy and is often an extra option that you’ll have to pay more for.
Contact your insurance company with the details of the accident and obtain a claim number. We can take care of the rest for you.
As all repair jobs are different, it’s impossible to determine how long the process will take. But, we will do our best to repair your vehicle as quickly as possible.
If your insurance policy allows you to choose your own repairer, then you don’t have to use their auto repair shop.
