On the question of prices, our rates are usually 30 to 50 per cent lower than those of local main dealers. So, are you paying more than you need to because you mistakenly believe that to protect your warranty you have to use the main dealer’s servicing facilities or that, after an accident, you must use the repair workshop specified by your insurance company? Under current legislation (known as block exemption) as long as we adhere to manufacturer repair/service guidelines and use genuine quality parts you’re warranty stays in tact. With accident repair it is your car and therefore your choice of where it is repaired. Your insurer will always try to stipulate you use their repair network – they have these repairers on minimum profit but volume repair contracts but this does not breed good repair practices – did you know? A number of insurers now have their repairers on average price repair contracts- basically they get the same sum of money for each repair – what happens if you’re repair should amount to much higher than that cost? Corners will be cut & your vehicle will suffer as a consequence. At SJC Motors we believe in carrying out the correct repair for the correct price.
