Why choosing the right panel beater is so important
What does Choice of Repairer Mean to you and Your Vehicle?
When a car gets damaged, one of the first things owners check is their car insurance. However, within your comprehensive car insurance are important details that can either protect you and your vehicle or your insurer.
Here’s what you need to know.
Preferred repairer: Basically panel beaters that work closely with your insurer. They are typically commissioned by the insurance company to provide you with services should you get involved in an accident that has damaged your vehicle’s body.
Choice of repairer: Your insurance company allows you to pick a panel beater of your own choosing — choose who will repair your vehicle in the event of an accident. This allows you to find the best possible service to use.

If you see these clauses on your comprehensive car insurance, know that the former will be a company that works for your insurer. And while your insurance provider will often partner with panel beaters that have achieved some level of reputation in the industry, they typically repair a high volume of vehicles and work on a limited budget set by the insurer.
On the other hand, the latter means that you can bring your car to a panel beater that will give your car the best possible service. Remember, they don’t work for your insurer, they work for you.

Do All Insurance Policies Offer Choice of Repairer?
Not all insurance companies in Australia offer choice of repairer included within their policy. Some budget policies or insurers may have restrictive terms and conditions when it comes to your repair options.
Before you sign up to an insurance policy, keep in mind to check the details of the coverage and find out whether ‘choice of repairer’ is included. If it’s important to you, you might need to select a policy that specifically offers this feature. Alternatively, consider talking to your insurer to ensure they have this option available if you would like to choose your own repairer in the event of an insurance claim.
