Whilst there is a point where paying for car damage repair is not worth the money, often, it is worth paying for car repairs from a garage. This may include after a serious crash where the engine block has been damaged, or if the damage extends across multiple panels and into the chassis of the vehicle.
The only way that you will know for sure is by speaking with several garages about your options before committing to the repairs. With Approved Garages, you can find many trusted garages in your area quickly. Speaking with one of our Approved Garages will allow you to weigh up your options.
Yes, absolutely. Shopping around is a great way to ensure that you aren’t overpaying for your vehicle repair. However, cost isn’t the only reason why you would shop around to secure a deal that suits your needs.
You may want to consider the garage’s location, its availability, whether their availability suits you, and its rating from a third party. When using Approved Garages, you can search through many trusted and reviewed car repair garages near you, and pick the one that suits you the best.
Our garages only work with Original Equipment (OE) parts or Matching Quality parts, ensuring that your vehicle repair is always the best possible quality.

No, it is illegal to drive your vehicle without an MOT. That is unless your car is a ‘classic car’, which is over 40 years old, and hasn’t had any substantial changes in the past 30 years. There are some other exemptions too.
The law stipulates that you are responsible for ensuring that your car is ‘roadworthy’ at all times, even with an MOT. If you are caught driving without an MOT after an accident of any size, you will be reprimanded by the law. You may face a fine of up to £25,000, 3 points and/or possibly lose your licence.
Yes, diagnostics are a service offered by many garages across the Approved Garages Network. You can buy tools online which may help you run a diagnostics test on your vehicle, however, understanding this data and acting on it requires expert knowledge.
Diagnostics services can be requested from many of the mechanics in the Approved Garages Network. Book your vehicle in, today!
