Your Choice of Repairer
It is 100 percent your decision where your vehicle is repaired following an accident. Your insurance company cannot require you to use their preferred repairer unless this is clearly stated in your policy.
​
Insurers may recommend approved repair centres due to commercial agreements, but this does not always guarantee the level of workmanship or care you expect.
At Anderson Bodyshop in Colne, we work with most major insurers and handle the process on your behalf, ensuring repairs are completed using genuine parts and manufacturer approved materials.
