We will provide assistance relating to accident repair or insurance claims, particularly if you have had a non fault accident. We can advise on how best to pursue your claim against the 'at fault' party, as well as provide a like-for-like replacement vehicle. You will also qualify for

• Free Equivalent Replacement Car
• No Insurance Excess
• Hassle Free Claim Service
• 'Cash for your Crash' Incentive Cash Back of up to 10% of Repair

As an incentive to have your car repaired with us we will pay back up to 10% of the net value of the repair to your vehicle.

Typically, this would be split between you, the customer, and whichever of our partners recommended you to us. We have schemes running with charities, brokers and franchised dealers. Therefore, if you were recommended to us by a charity, then we would pay you 5% and our partner charity 5%. On an average repair cost of £1200, that's £60 to you, the customer, and £60 to a charity. If you come to us direct not having been recommended by any of our partners, we will pay the partner 5% to a charity of your choice.

Our 'Cash for your Crash' incentive scheme is still available even if the accident was your fault!

(Payment will be issued upon receipt of payment in full by insurer or authorising agent. Applies to retail repairs with a labour rate of £30 or more. Does not apply to insurance, accident management or fleet contract repair schemes.)

Because of the high cost of replacement, it is usually far more cost effective to repair rather than replace bumpers and plastic components, particularly with the frequency with which they get damaged.

We can effectively repair and restore to a very high standard. Costs are determined by the degree of damage but can typically save you up to 50% of the cost of a new part! We even repair motorcycle fairings, paniers and jet skis!

While your rear bumper is being repaired, why not consider having reverse parking sensors fitted? Having it done while your bumper is already off the car can reduce the cost considerably!

Driving over potholes and bumps can damage your suspension causing your vehicle to pull to one side. But did you know that even kerbing your car while parking can damage your suspension sufficiently to cause expensive and uneven tyre wear?

Why not have your steering alignment checked out to be on the safe side? It could save you money in the long run. We employ fully qualified Senior ATA M.E.T. (Mechanical, Electrical and Trim) Technicians who can perform a full Four Wheel Alignment check using computerised geometry equipment with printed reports.

We have a fixed menu pricing system for checking and adjusting wheel alignment depending on the vehicle. Details available on request.

Over time, vehicle air conditioning systems become less efficient due to factors such as insufficient use, perished seals and minor leaks in the system.

To maintain your system at peak efficiency it is recommended that you have your air conditioning serviced annually. This involves evacuating the gas from the system, testing for leaks, then replenishing and repressurising the system.

If you suspect that your air conditioning is not performing effectively or you have not had it serviced in the last twelve months, why not book it in for a service?

Although we carry out bumper repairs, isn't it better for them not to get damaged in the first place? Avoid those costly and unsightly scuffs and scratches when parking in tight or dimly lit spaces. Protect your car and fit reverse parking sensors; you know it makes sense and costs a lot less than you think. If your bumper is already damaged, we can fit parking sensors very cheaply at the same time that your bumper is being repaired.

We have a fixed menu pricing system for fitting parking sensors depending on the vehicle. Details available on request.

Car manufacturer and vehicle technology is changing so rapidly that car body repairers frequently do not have the technology to repair vehicles correctly to their pre-accident condition. That is why it is imperative that you select a British Standard PAS125 Kitemark accredited bodyshop.

Apex is one of only thirteen bodyshops in the UK that has the CHIEF Genesis II Velocity computerised chassis laser alignment system, providing a printed report of your vehicle's alignment status.

If you suspect that your vehicle has ever been involved in an accident or is not driving as it should (maybe 'crabbing' sideways as it drives) it could be worth having a chassis alignment check carried out. We can provide a separate estimate of costs to rectify any damage found.

Unsightly damage can occur to alloy wheels when kerbed and to replace the wheel is often costly. It may also be unnecessary as we can refurbish your wheels for a fraction of the cost of replacement.

Kerbing your wheels can also be the cause of suspension damage, sterring mis-alignment and costly and uneven tyre wear. While your wheels are being refurbished, why not consider having a steering geometry alignment check?

We have a fixed menu pricing system for wheel refurbishment depending on the wheel size and type. Details available on request.

To keep repair costs to a minimum we can also recommend paintless dent removal for minor dents. This could be an avenue worth exploring if the dent has not broken through the paint or lacquer.

Prices are determined by the size and number of dents and the amount of stripping and fitting involved. Contact us for further information or to arrange an inspection.

We can recover your vehicle in the event that it is undrivable and this is normally free of charge for repairable vehicles.

We also provide free collection and delivery as part of our service, although you may be asked to visit our bodyshop if you are collecting a courtesy car for administrative purposes. If you are taking a courtesy car, please remember to bring in your certificate of insurance and driving licence.
