What Happens After an Accident
After a crash it’s not always obvious how much damage there is. A bumper can look fine while the brackets, crash bar or sensors behind it are broken, and a hard knock can shift the chassis enough to affect wheel alignment and handling. That’s why we inspect the whole impact area, not just the panel you can see.
If you’re claiming on insurance, bring your claim number. We’ll assess and photograph the damage, prepare a quote and send it to your insurer, then keep you updated as the repair goes ahead.

Collision Repair FAQs
Can I choose my own repairer if I’m claiming insurance?
In most cases it’s your choice where your car is repaired. Tell your insurer you’d like Karbase Services to do the work. There’s more detail on our insurance repairs page.
What if the chassis is bent?
We check for structural damage and carry out chassis straightening where it’s needed, so the car drives straight and the panels line up.
Do you provide courtesy cars?
Courtesy cars can be provided when appropriate. Ask the team when you book your repair.
