What happens when I crash my car?
What to watch out for when repairing your prized sports car.
Hopefully over a reasonably short period of time your poor crushed luxury sports car turns into something looking more like a sports car should. However, when you pick up your good as new Lamborghini, has your ‘insurance company approved’ body shop carried out the repairs to the manufacturer’s exacting standards? Several recent cases have highlighted potential problems leading to invalidation of the vehicle’s warranty. In most circumstances policy holders have the choice of where their vehicle is repaired. In practice, your insurer’s helpline will point you in the direction of the nearest approved garage which is highly unlikely to be the manufacturer’s local main dealer. The repair work may be as good, but how much is your car now worth with an invalidated warranty? Our advice? Exercise your choice.
