Claims · Assessor liaison

Insurance smash repairs.

Many policies give you the right to choose your repairer. Nominate Westwide Auto Group when you lodge your claim, and we’ll manage the assessment, approvals and paperwork on your behalf.

You shouldn’t have to chase anyone. Once your claim is lodged, we take it from there and keep you informed throughout.

How an insurance smash repair works with us

We send our itemised quote and supporting photographs directly to your insurer, meet the assessor on site and secure approval before any work begins. If additional damage is uncovered once panels come off, we handle the supplementary approval too.

You’ll receive progress updates while your vehicle is with us, and you simply pay your excess when you collect it.

FAQ

What drivers ask us.

Can I choose my own repairer?

Many policies allow it, though some limit the choice. Check your policy wording or ask your insurer when you lodge the claim, and request Westwide Auto Group in Malaga.

Do I pay my excess to you?

Usually, yes, at the time you collect your vehicle. Your insurer confirms the excess amount, and we’ll remind you before pick-up.

What if more damage is found during the repair?

We photograph it and submit it to your insurer for approval before carrying out any additional work, so you never need to chase anyone.

Do you work with my insurer?

As an independent repairer, we’re not tied to any one insurer. If your policy lets you choose your repairer, simply nominate Westwide Auto Group when you lodge your claim and we’ll take care of the rest.
