Crash repairs in Dublin, claim handled

Accident damage repaired at our Cherry Orchard workshop in Dublin 10, with the insurance claim managed for you from the first estimate to the day you collect the car.

Insurance claims

We deal with the insurance company, so you don't have to

After a crash you've a damaged car, an assessor to deal with and a claim form you didn't ask for. Bring the car to us and we'll take the whole lot off your hands: the estimate, the assessor's inspection, the parts authorisation and the paperwork, start to finish.

You choose the garage, not your insurer.Your insurance company can recommend a repairer from their panel, but they cannot make you use one. The choice is yours, and it doesn't affect your claim.

We handle claims through your own insurer or the other driver's insurer, and we repair cars for private customers and the motor trade. If you're paying for the repair yourself, the process is the same without the claim: we write the estimate, you approve it and we start.

  • The estimate

    A written estimate for parts, panel work and paint, sent straight to your insurer.

  • The assessor

    We meet the assessor at the workshop and agree the repair. You don't need to be there.

  • The paperwork

    Parts authorisation and claim paperwork handled for you, start to finish.

The repair

Back to pre-accident condition

We've spent over 20 years specialising in crash repairs and accident damage. The work is done in-house by panel beaters, spray painters and paintless dent repair specialists. A typical crash repair takes 1 to 2 days.

Damaged panels are straightened or replaced, then the car goes into the spray booth. We match the colour to your car's factory paint code using computer colour matching and dry the finish in our paint ovens. Before you collect it, the car is valeted.

  • Panel beating

    Doors, wings, bonnets and bumpers straightened or replaced so the panels sit straight again.

  • Spray booth respray

    Single panels or a full respray, painted in the booth and oven dried.

  • Colour matching

    Matched to your factory paint code with computer colour matching, so the repair blends in.

Not a full crash?

Dents, scratches and bumpers too

The same workshop looks after smaller damage: car dents from minor dings to bigger impacts, scratches and scuffs sanded out and refinished, and bumper scuffs, cracks and splits repaired and resprayed.
