Your insurer picks a shop.
You’re allowed to pick your own.
It’s your car, and the choice of repairer is yours. Search independent bodyshops near you, with every accreditation checked before it appears.
Why this exists
Most drivers don’t know they can choose their own repairer. If your insurer suggests one, you’re free to use them — or to pick someone else.
The hard part is knowing how to choose. Any shop can put “BS10125” on its website. Here, we ask for the certificate and check it before the badge appears.
Three steps, no middleman
This isn’t a marketplace. You contact the shop directly and deal with them — we just make sure the ones you find can back up what they claim.
Enter your postcode
Filter by what your car actually needs — EV and high-voltage, ADAS calibration, aluminium, or approval for your specific make.
See what they can actually prove
Standards, manufacturer approvals, specialist skills and trade membership — each one checked against a certificate before it appears. Skill badges show how many technicians are qualified, not just that one is.
