Why Would I Not Repair My Car’s Bumper Via My Insurer?

Car insurance is there to help keep your life on track should the worst happen. If you’ve been involved in an accident and suffered serious or structural damage, you should make a claim on your policy to get your bumper fixed.

But why should you have to risk your no-claims bonus if you’ve only scraped against a hedge or bumped into a shopping trolley?

When you book an appointment with one of the repairers on our platform, you stay in control and keep hold of your hard-earned no-claims discount while still getting a high-quality repair.

Here are some of the ways we keep you in control of the process, making a self-booked bumper repair your best option.

 

Effortless Comparison of Local Options so You Choose the Repairer You Want

Once you’ve entered your vehicle and damage details, we’ll show you every local repairer on our platform so you can compare your options and request a booking at the perfect one for you.

There are a range of static and mobile repairers available, all of whom set their own prices – so what you see is what you’ll pay (unless you agree to additional work with them directly or need a different bumper repair).

And with verified, unfiltered reviews from real customers available for each repairer, you always get the peace of mind that comes with booking the best deal.

When you’ve got this much control, why would you let your insurer dictate who is going to fix your car?

 

Flexible Online Booking that Fits into Your Schedule

Dents and scratches don’t all happen between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday. And even if they did, you’re busy enough during the week with your own life that you don’t have the time to sit on hold to your insurer while they sort out your repair.

That’s why we offer 24/7 online comparison, allowing you to get your bumper repair sorted whenever you have time.

And our simple 5-step process means you can request a booking from your chosen repairer in seconds.

 

How Does the Booking Process Work?

Enter your reg and postcode

Select your damage using our picker tool. Please be as accurate as possible with the size of the damage as this can greatly influence the estimates shown

Compare instant estimates from local repairers

Select a suitable date and time, enter your contact information and complete the booking request

Upload images of the damage. Many repairers are unable to confirm your booking until they’ve seen the damage to ensure you’ve booked the right repair at the right price.

 

Same- or Next-Day Appointments to Get Your Bumper Fixed Quicker

When you trust your bumper repair to your insurer, you go at their pace. Not only does it take a while to book the appointment, but then you also have to wait for their chosen repairer to have a free slot to complete the work.

This all takes time and keeps your car off the road much longer than it should.

When you take control of your repair, you can request a same- or next-day booking from many repairers on our network to get the work done sooner. We clearly display the closest date a repairer can offer you via the ‘Available From’ section on their listing.

So if you want to get rid of that unsightly scratch or dent fast, take control of booking your appointment today.

 

Save Money on Your Bumper Repair by Comparing Deals

Not only will you avoid paying your insurance excess by booking your car’s repair yourself, but you can also save up to 70% by comparing deals through BookMyGarage.com and choosing a lower-cost option.

And you can save yourself money in the long run as well because your insurance premium won’t go up like it would if you made a claim.

Take control of your bumper repair and ensure you get the very best deal by comparing instant estimates through BookMyGarage.com and completing a booking request in seconds.

It really is as simple as that.

 

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What level of damage means my bumper needs replacing instead?

Minor surface damage, small scratches or dents and any other general cosmetic damage can be easily repaired. If your bumper is loose, cracked or split, misaligned with the mountings or there’s any severe paint damage or dents that can’t be pulled out, you will need to replace it instead.

A bumper replacement is a collision repair which repairers on our network are unable to complete. If your car needs one, you’ll need to go through your insurer or book directly with a local bodyshop.

Will the price of my appointment change?

While every repairer sets and updates their own prices, booking estimates may change once they receive photos of your damaged bumper. The severity of damage can affect the price you pay and whether a SMART repair is possible, so no price is confirmed until your chosen repairer has reviewed your images.

Can I repair my bumper myself?

You may be able to complete minor bumper repairs at home using specialist auto care products. However, it’s best to book an appointment with a local repairer for best results.

If your bumper is severely damaged, you will not be able to repair it at home.

Is the booking confirmed once I complete the checkout process?

No, your booking is only confirmed once your repairer gets in touch after they review the damage using the photos you upload.

Please ensure you upload these promptly, especially if you’re looking to book a same- or next-day bumper repair, to ensure your booking is confirmed as soon as possible.

Can I get my bumper repaired at home to make my life easier?

Yes, many SMART repairers offer a mobile service, completing your bumper repair at home or work to better fit it into your life.

We clearly mark these listings with a mobile badge, so you can easily see who offers mobile bumper repairs in your area.

How do I know whether I need a bumper repair or replacement?

If your bumper is severely damaged, it’s likely you need a collision repair rather than a SMART repair. In these cases, you will need to make a claim through your insurer or book an appointment at a specialist bodyshop as repairers on our platform are unable to help.

Minor surface damage, small scratches or dents and any other general cosmetic damage can be easily repaired. If your bumper is loose, cracked or split, misaligned with the mountings or there’s any severe paint damage or dents that can’t be pulled out, you’ll need to replace the entire thing.

Should I repair my car’s bumper as soon as possible?

If your bumper is severely damaged, you should book a collision repair as soon as possible.

SMART repairs are less vital as they are generally superficial. However, they can look ugly, so you should look to book one promptly if your car’s appearance matters to you. You should also strongly consider repairing your bumper if you’re looking to sell your vehicle as it will increase its resale value, ensuring you get a fair price.

How do you generate estimates for my repair?

Our pricing matrix uses the labour and material rates as set by each repairer and the number of hours each repair takes to generate estimates for your vehicle.

As a result, prices are related to damage size and type rather than your vehicle, so it’s vital you’re as accurate as possible when selecting the damage.

Does a bumper repair affect my no-claims bonus?

A bumper repair may affect your no-claims bonus if booked through your insurer. You may also have to pay your policy’s excess if you fix it this way.

Self-booking your repair will not affect your no-claims bonus and you don’t have to declare it to your insurer as long as you didn’t collide with another vehicle or a pedestrian.
