Accident repair

The ARC Group is committed to providing the highest standard of vehicle repair and we invest heavily in the latest technology, equipment and training, enabling us to deliver this standard consistently across our 5 Wiltshire and Avon accident repair centres. Our highly-trained and experienced technicians work to BS 10125, the new British Standard for Vehicle Damage Repair, ensuring your vehicle is returned in good-as-new condition.

Initial contact

From the initial contact by one of our customer service team, the arrangements are made for the vehicles to be collected by our staff or for you to bring your vehicle to us. Where the insurance company has negotiated a provision of a courtesy car, one will be provided for the duration of repairs.

 

If your vehicle is a total loss, ie: beyond economical repair, a courtesy car is not always provided. This will depend on each individual's insurance cover.

Work specification

Once the vehicle arrives on site, the Vehicle Damage Assessment team will provide a detailed work specification, which is then agreed with the policy holders' insurers.

 

Insurance negotiations today are supported by the use of digital imagery, allowing pictures of the damaged vehicle to be sent to the insurer's claims office to give much faster authorisation for the repairs to commence.

Authorisation

Following the authorisation of work, the parts are ordered and once received the vehicle will be scheduled into the Bodyshops production process. Repairs sometimes involve the use of high specification jigs, alignment systems and all of the necessary equipment to produce a quality repair.

Quality checks

Once the vehicle repairs have been completed, the last stage is for the vehicle to be cleaned and prepared for collection. One of our senior managers will check the repairs before final quality control sign off. Then our customer service team will make contact with you to arrange collection.
