Know your rights after a non-fault accident with the help of CARS – Grimsby’s Independent Accident Repair Centre

Ebony Barker • January 30, 2026

Being involved in an accident that wasn’t your fault is something nobody plans for. Even when you’ve done nothing wrong, the situation can quickly become stressful - damaged vehicles, unexpected phone calls, insurance paperwork, and the worry of being without your car. At a time like this, choosing the right repair centre can make all the difference.


Choosing an independent accident repair centre means you don’t have to handle the claim alone. 


Independent accident repair centres, like CARS of Grimsby, deal with insurance claims every single day. We understand how confusing and time-consuming the process can feel, especially when you’re already juggling work, family, and everyday commitments.


If a third party is at fault, we can liaise directly with their insurance company on your behalf. This means:

  • No chasing insurers for updates
  • No endless phone calls or confusing forms
  • No pressure to accept solutions that don’t suit you


We manage the process from start to finish, keeping you informed and supported at every stage, so you can get on with your life while we take care of the details.


Managing a non-fault claim outside your own insurance policy often comes with significant benefits that many drivers aren’t made aware of:

  • No excess to pay – because you’re not claiming on your own policy
  • Your no claims discount stays protected
  • Greater control over how your vehicle is repaired
  • Less risk of your car being written off unnecessarily


Your car is more than just transport, it’s a valuable asset you rely on every day. That’s why you should choose an independent repair centre that repairs vehicles using:

  • High-quality, manufacturer-approved parts
  • Approved repair methods and specifications
  • Skilled technicians focused on safety and longevity


One of the biggest advantages of choosing an independent repairer is the level of care and communication you receive. You’re not just a claim number, you’re a customer who deserves clear explanations, independent advice, and practical solutions.

After an accident, the last thing you need is more worry. Between dealing with insurers, arranging repairs, and trying to keep life moving as normal, it can all feel overwhelming. One of the biggest concerns we hear from customers is: “Will I be left without a car if I don’t use my insurer’s approved repairer?”

Even the most careful drivers pick up small bits of cosmetic damage over time, whether it’s a scuff in a supermarket car park, a kerbed alloy on a tight corner, or a stone chip from the motorway.

SMART repairs (Small-to-Medium Area Repair Technologies) are an incredibly popular way to fix minor cosmetic damage quickly and cost-effectively. However, not all SMART repairs are equal.
