Successful vehicle repair requires a formula that answers every client's needs.
Over time Queenstown Collision Centre has refined the vehicle repair process to create a fluid, efficient and cost-effective system. Each repair stage offers the perfect workspace and the most relevant technology suited to the varied needs of our clients, starting with the initial check-in through to a fully detailed sign-off (via a pristine track, through state-of-the-art applications).
Queenstown Collision Centre are registered vehicle repairers for all major insurance companies.
Before you book in for your repairs you will need to make a claim with your insurer or insurance broker. It is best to undertake this step as soon as possible after the incident has occurred since some insurers have a time limit within which you must notify them of the incident, it also ensures that the incident is easily recalled and you are able to answer any questions your insurer may have.
From here your insurer will walk you through their process this may vary slightly from insurer to insurer, in most cases, however, your insurer will check your policy to confirm you are entitled to claim for the incident and for small claims such as broken windscreens, windows or damaged lights, a claim form may not be required.
Your insurer will review the repairs needed with you, and in most cases agree with you who the repairer will be, at this point you will be issued a claim number. Once you have a claim number we can take care of the rest of the process for you. We will work directly with your insurer to confirm the repairs needed, undertake any administration and organise payments and billing.
Our team will keep you up to date on the repair process, and provide you with an estimated date of completion. (Depending on the seriousness of the claim your insurer may want their expert claims assessor to take a look at the vehicle, most often this is undertaken on the repairer’s premises in which case your insurer will also make arrangements to have your vehicle towed to the repairer’s location. The insurer and repairer will then come to an agreement on the cost of repairs and work will commence)
