Insurance claim assistance
After a collision, the insurance claim can feel almost as difficult as the damage itself. Marrickville Auto Body helps customers in Marrickville and Inner West Sydney understand the repair side of the process, organise useful information and keep the next step clear. We work with all insurance companies and can discuss your repair whether your policy is with a large national insurer or another provider.
Support from the first call
You do not need to know every insurance term before asking for help. Tell us what happened, where the vehicle is, whether it can be driven safely and whether you have already spoken with your insurer. We can explain the repair information that may be useful, what an inspection is for and which questions to ask as the claim progresses.
Our role is to support the repair conversation. Your insurer decides policy coverage, claim acceptance, excess, assessment requirements and any settlement terms. We do not replace your insurer’s claims process; we help you move through the repair stages with a better understanding of what is happening.
We work with all insurance companies
Marrickville Auto Body works with all insurance companies, not only one selected insurer or panel. Customers may have policies with NRMA, AAMI, GIO, Suncorp, Allianz, QBE, Youi, Budget Direct, CGU, RACV, RACQ or RACT, as well as other providers. The important information is your own policy and claim, not a generic assumption about what your insurer will approve.

How we help through the claim process
1. Understand the accident and damage
We start with the practical details: what happened, which parts of the vehicle were affected and whether the vehicle is safe to drive. Photos, the accident date, the other driver’s information and your claim reference can help create a clearer repair conversation.
2. Prepare for insurer contact
If you have not lodged the claim, your insurer will usually need the incident information through its own claim channel. We can help you understand which repair questions to raise, including where the vehicle should be inspected and what information the repairer may need.
3. Coordinate repair information
Once a claim is registered, repair information and assessment requirements can be discussed between the relevant parties. We can explain the bodywork involved, identify visible damage and communicate about the repair scope while the insurer handles its policy decisions.
4. Keep the next step clear
Insurance repairs can involve several conversations, documents and approvals. We help keep the repair side organised so you know what information has been requested, what stage the vehicle is at and who to contact when a question relates to your policy.
Information to have ready
Having a few details together can make the first conversation easier. Do not delay urgent safety assistance while gathering paperwork, and only share personal or policy information through appropriate channels.
- Your vehicle registration and contact details
- The insurer and policy details, if available
- A claim number or assessment reference, if issued
- The date, location and circumstances of the incident
- Photographs of the vehicle and relevant damage
- Any details about whether the vehicle is safe to drive
