Private or insurance route
We help establish whether you need a direct repair quotation or an estimate and evidence for your insurer.
Understand insurance repairsOur Acton workshop sits within the London Borough of Ealing, giving local drivers one clear route for private quotations, insurer-managed repairs and more involved structural work.
Some damage is best handled as a private repair; other incidents need insurer authorisation, recovery and a courtesy-car conversation. We keep those routes distinct so Ealing customers know what information is needed and who must approve the work.
For a larger impact, the assessment can extend beyond paint and outer panels to chassis alignment, geometry and related components. The repair plan is then supported by the appropriate panel, structural and refinishing work at our BS 10125-certified facility.
These are the parts of the PBWL service most relevant to this area guide. The final full repair scope is always confirmed after the vehicle is assessed.

We review the description and photos, then inspect the vehicle where a closer assessment is required.
You approve a private quotation, or we progress the repair estimate through the insurer's authorisation process.
Approved structural, panel and paint operations are completed with progress updates through to handover.
The answer can change with the vehicle and damage. Contact the team if your situation is not covered here.
Yes. We work with major UK insurers and can provide the damage information and estimate required for the repair process.
Tell your insurer that Prestige Bodywork London is your preferred repairer. Your policy terms still apply, and the insurer can explain any conditions attached to that choice.
Not always. The type and direction of the impact determine what must be inspected. We will explain if measurement or alignment checks are appropriate after assessing the vehicle.
Useful photos can begin the assessment, but the final quotation depends on the repair method, labour, paint and any parts identified during inspection.
Choose a private quote or send your insurance details. A claim number is optional, so there is no need to wait before showing us the damage.
