Your Ultimate Guide to Accident Repair in Huddersfield

Bump in a car park? Rear-end shunt at the lights? Don’t worry! Follow this simple checklist to stay safe, handle insurers, and get your vehicle back on the road—finished to factory standard by Custom Bodyworx.

1. Safety First

• Pull over safely and switch off the engine.

• Check occupants for injuries; call 999 if needed.

• Photograph damage and the surrounding scene.

  
  

2. Exchange & Report

Swap names, addresses, registration, and insurer details. If damage is minor and no one’s hurt, police attendance often isn’t required. However, you must report within 24 hours if injuries occur.

3. Contact Your Insurer—or Not?

Small cosmetic damage often costs less than your excess. We’ll give you a free fixed quote so you can decide whether to self-fund or claim. This way, you can make an informed choice without any pressure.

4. Choose a Repairer (Your Right)

By law, you can pick any bodyshop. We are insurer-approved, VAT-registered, and back repairs with a 12-month guarantee. Choosing Custom Bodyworx means choosing quality and peace of mind.

5. Book Assessment

Call 07596 217 810 or send photos via our online form. We’ll confirm costs, parts, and timeline—usually 48–72 hours for light accident repairs. It’s that simple!

6. Courtesy Car & Progress Updates

We can arrange a courtesy vehicle where available. You’ll receive text or email updates at each stage—strip, repair, paint, quality control. We keep you in the loop!

7. Collect & Inspect

On collection, inspect paint match, panel gaps, and function (parking sensors, ADAS). You’ll receive digital paperwork and warranty for peace of mind. We want you to be completely satisfied with our work.
