Car Body Repairs
There are two maintypes of car body repair services, Body Shops (Accident repair centres) and Smart Repairs (mobile car body repairs).
Body shops are used by all car insurers for small and large types of car body repairs. This type of service charges a high premium for their repairs especially it seems for insurance work this is the main reason for the increase in car insurance premiums year on year. They are a static service and are numerous in most areas. The turnaround time for most jobs  is around 2 weeks on average, most body shops will give you a courtesy car which of course the cost for this will be passed on to the insurer.

Smart Repair Services are mostly mobile and have the ability to carry out car body repairs
from the back of a large vehicle. They mainly repair small collision damage such as bumper scuffs, bumper scratches, stone chip repairs, dents and seat burn repairs with an average turnaround time of 2-3 hours per job. You might think that the cost for such a service would be high but in fact it's the opposite, with low overheads, labour and equipment costs the prices for most repairs are up to 70% cheaper than the body shop equivalent. There are
however some down sides to the mobile car body repair service, such as they are totally weather dependent, for example if it's raining or snowing the work can't be carried out. Also they can't repair larger collision damage such as crash repairs and can be restricted to carrying our work in busy high streets or limited parking areas.
With  the pros and cons of both types of services listed above you can see by using a smart repair service that you would save time and money in having the repairs done, not only will you save money on the short term but also in the long term by keeping done your insurance premiums.
