[REF: I-04] · The incident protocol

Had a prang? Here's the order to do things in.

Insurance, private or WINZ — the repair starts the same way. Lodge the claim, nominate the workshop, and we take it from the assessment through to the keys going back in your hand.

  1. 01

    Tell your insurer

    Lodge the claim and let them know Jimmys Auto Bodies in New Plymouth is doing the repair. Bring the claim number with you.

  2. 02

    We assess & quote

    We inspect the damage, work with the assessor, and quote the repair — insurance, private or WINZ.

  3. 03

    Repair & hand back

    Panels straightened, paint matched, glass and trim refitted. Ask about a courtesy car while yours is with us.
