Motorists can choose their own car repairer

At Car Magic we are an independent repairer and believe consumers need to know that they DO have a choice.  Insurance companies should end their unethical market practices and stop treating motorists unfairly by diverting motorists away from the repairer they choose to the insurance company’s “preferred repairer”.

Some insurers are now:

  • quoting for repairs from photographs instead of personally inspecting the damaged vehicle;
  • pressurising “preferred repairers” to fix vehicles cheaply, resulting in corners being cut, substandard repairs and unsafe vehicles;
  • offering cash settlements to motorists that do not cover the full cost of repairs.
