Why Would I Not Just Go Through My Insurer?
Although it might seem more convenient to make a claim through your insurance policy, booking a SMART (Small to Medium Area Repair Technology) repair yourself is usually the better long-term option – especially if you’ve worked hard to build up your no-claims discount.
Making any sort of claim on your insurance may reset this, so why would you want to waste all your hard work on something you can easily sort on your own?
Taking control of your SMART repair will also ensure your insurance premiums don’t rise in the long-term and, when you don’t have to worry about paying any excess, you might also be able to get a great deal in the process.
You should still let your insurance provider know about any accidents or collisions, especially if there was another vehicle involved, even if you don’t plan on making a claim on your policy.
Why Should I Have My Car's Bumper Repaired?
Having your car’s bumper repaired at the first sign of trouble has several benefits.
By booking a timely bumper repair, you can avoid causing additional damage to other related components, like the headlights or sensors.
If you don’t have your bumper repaired when needed, this can compromise your vehicle’s safety and ramp up repair costs later down the line.
Plus, if you want to keep your car looking good – especially if you ever hope to sell – then a repair can help your vehicle retain its value.
What Are Some Common Causes of Bumper Damage?
Your car’s bumper can get damaged, scratched or dented as a result of:
Minor collisions
Accidents when parking
Falling debris, like hailstones
The bumper absorbs the shock and impact of low-speed collisions, preventing damage to vital components like the engine.
If you want to stay safe as you drive and get more for your money, you want to keep your bumper in good condition.
Effortless Comparison Helps 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?
Be proactive about 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.
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 - it's really as simple as that!
Frequently asked questions
Providing images to help with this process ensures your estimate can be updated if you’ve selected the incorrect damage, avoiding your estimate significantly increasing when you arrive for your SMART repair.
You also don’t need to let your insurer know about any SMART repairs when it’s time to renew your policy, so it won’t result in a potential premium increase either.
These listings are marked with a blue ‘Mobile’ badge to make it easier for you to see who can come and complete your cosmetic repair at home.
If you’ve received estimates for a small scratch and it turns out your car needs a large scratch repair, for example, the price may change after the repairer reviews the images you upload.
Once you’ve chosen a repairer, you deal with them directly from start to finish, paying only after the work is complete – giving you full peace of mind.
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.
If your bumper is severely damaged, you will not be able to repair it at home.
We clearly mark these listings with a mobile badge, so you can easily see who offers mobile bumper repairs in your area.
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.
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.
