Had an Accident in Glasgow? Here's What You Need to Know.
After an accident, your insurer will often direct you to one of their approved garages. What they don't always make clear is that you have the legal right to choose your own repairer — and exercising that right could mean the difference between a quality repair and a quick, cheap fix.
Linwood Coachworks is a BSI-accredited repair specialist. We work with all major UK insurers and handle every aspect of your claim — the phone calls, the paperwork, the Audatex estimates, the approvals. You drop your car off and pick it up repaired.
- We liaise directly with your insurer — no chasing or phone calls required from you
- Non-fault claims — we recover costs from the at-fault insurer
- Excess contributions available in many non-fault cases
- Detailed Audatex estimates prepared and submitted on your behalf
- All repairs completed to BS10125 standard — not the cheapest standard, the right standard
