When a motorbike fell on to the bonnet of our car, we had lots of trouble with establishing liability for the cost of the repairs, and also in checking what was the right price for repairing the vehicle. The last thing you want is to find problems with the finished job, so it is helpful to use a service which shows you the market rate for the job. So you can find out how much it costs to replace a timing belt, for example. If you have a common make of car such as a ford escort, this is a straightforward task. Because our damage claim was for the front end there were some internal parts needed – like a new water pump – as well as a new hood, of course. Gone are the days when bodyshops could make up their own prices – this is an unbiased service that lets you know the normal repair price and labour time for a given job, so it is going to help you whether your car needs servicing or crash repairs.
