Not every car repair needs to go through an insurance company. Whether it’s a small scratch, a minor dent, or a scuffed bumper, some repairs are best handled privately to avoid impacting your insurance premium. At Smart Car UK, we provide expert private car body repairs, helping you restore your vehicle without the complications of an insurance claim.
There are several reasons why you might choose to handle your vehicle repairs privately instead of going through your insurer:
Avoid Insurance Premium Increases – Even minor claims can affect your premium at renewal.
Keep Your No-Claims Bonus Intact – By handling small repairs privately, you protect your no-claims discount.
Fast & Hassle-Free Process – No need for insurer approval or lengthy claims handling.
Cost-Effective for Minor Repairs – Some repairs are more affordable when done privately rather than paying an insurance excess.
