You are legally entitled to choose any bodyshop to repair your vehicle during an insurance claim repair.

 
All you need to do is nominate us when you call the claims line of your insurance company.
 
It is your choice where you have your car repaired, not your insurers. This is your legal right and you cannot be refused under any circumstances.
 
At Finlay's Garage we undertake a range of services from dents to major bodywork repairs.
 
We can fix small scratches and dents and replace body panels to make your car look like new.

 
We are also fully equipped to undertake all vehicle paintwork. So if your car is in need of a new coat of paint, you want a change of colour, or even need restoration work on a vintage car we can provide an expert service.



Insurance Repairs

We understand that having an accident is a very stressful time and that is why at Finlay's Garage we will try to make the process a stress free as possible.
 
Your insurance company may want to send you to their approved repairer. What they don't advise is, it is entirely your choice by law to choose your preferred bodyshop. This choice does not effect your rights to claim.
 
IMPORTANT: Before you call your insurer, call Finlays Garage
