At ilovemycar.co.uk, we specialise in exterior repairs—including panel damage, bumper and trim replacement, alloy wheel refurbishment, wheel alignment, and tyre replacement. We don’t cover internal panel repairs, mechanical or engine work, or suspension—these are assessed and handled on a bespoke, case-by-case basis. For any such issues, we recommend calling our team for more details and guidance. If you have a dashboard warning light, we suggest visiting a qualified mechanical garage to resolve the issue before your repair to avoid delays.
Claiming through your insurance for car repairs might seem like the easy option, but it can end up costing you more. You’ll likely pay an excess (which could rise after the claim), face increased premiums, and if the car is written off, your policy ends—often leaving you with a payout that doesn’t cover a replacement. At ilovemycar.co.uk, we help you explore smarter, more cost-effective repair options without the insurance headache.
If your repair quote is higher than expected, don’t worry—ilovemycar.co.uk has you covered. In cases where going through insurance becomes the more cost-effective route, we can handle the entire claim process on your behalf. You won’t need to go anywhere else—your car gets repaired, the insurer picks up the bill, and you’ll even get a courtesy car to keep you moving. The only thing you’ll need to do is pay your policy excess when collecting your vehicle. Simple, stress-free, and fully managed by our expert team.
At ilovemycar.co.uk, we secure unbeatable repair prices thanks to the volume of work we bring to our trusted network—thousands of insurance repairs every month. This buying power means we get discounted rates on parts, paint, and labour, and by scheduling repairs during the bodyshops’ quieter times, we save even more—passing those savings directly on to you. With us, you get top-quality repairs at a fraction of the usual cost, without compromising on service.
If the accident wasn’t your fault, ilovemycar.co.uk offers two smart ways to handle it—saving you time, stress, and unnecessary costs.
For minor damage, if the at-fault party agrees to cover the cost, we can carry out the repair and charge them directly. We’ll even provide a small courtesy car during the repair to keep you mobile, all while keeping costs low.
If the damage is more extensive, or the at-fault party hasn’t agreed to pay, we can take care of everything through a credit repair process. That means we’ll provide you with a like-for-like replacement vehicle, carry out all repairs at no cost to you, and best of all—it won’t affect your insurance or your no-claims bonus.
Either way, we’ll handle the hard part, so you can get back on the road with confidence.
At ilovemycar.co.uk, our focus is on keeping repair costs as low as possible for you—which is why, unlike insurers, we don’t automatically include a courtesy car. This allows us to pass on significant savings and offer you the best possible price for your vehicle repairs.
However, if you do need a car while yours is in the bodyshop, we can provide a competitive quote for a hire vehicle. And for repairs over £5,000 (inc. VAT), the bodyshop will offer a courtesy car free of charge—you’ll just need to cover the insurance and any applicable excess during the repair period.
If your accident was not your fault and qualifies for a credit repair, we’ll provide a like-for-like replacement vehicle at no cost to you, with no impact on your insurance. Either way, we’ll keep you moving without breaking the bank.
