Frequently Asked Questions

Have Questions?

Do you deal with fault claims?

Yes, we deal with fault Claims. We specialise in handling fault claims from start to finish. Our team will contact your insurer, manage all the necessary paperwork, and arrange for your vehicle repairs. Plus, we can cover the cost of your excess and process your claim through our trusted accident management company ensuring a hassle-free experience for you.

Do you deal with non-fault claims?

Yes, we take care of non-fault claims. If you’ve been in an accident that wasn’t your fault, we handle everything for you. We’ll deal with the at-fault party’s insurer, arrange repairs with no upfront costs, provide a like-for-like replacement vehicle, and cover your excess where possible. Plus, your no-claims bonus stays protected. Let us take the stress out of your claim!

Do I have to use my insurance company's approved repairer?

No. You have the absolute legal right to choose where your vehicle is repaired. Insurers often prefer their network to keep their own costs down, which can sometimes lead to aftermarket parts being used. Choosing Max Auto Colour ensures no compromises on quality.

Will choosing you affect my manufacturer warranty?

No. We repair all vehicles to manufacturer standards using approved techniques, parts, and premium paint systems, meaning your vehicle's warranty remains fully intact.

What if the accident was not my fault?

If the accident was non-fault, we can handle the claim entirely through a non-fault accident management scheme. This means you pay zero excess, receive a equivalent replacement hire vehicle, and your insurer is not involved, protecting your no-claims bonus.
