What should you ask a smash repairer before approving accident repairs?

If you've had an accident, it can be tempting to approve the repair as quickly as possible. But it's worth asking a few questions first.

I'd recommend confirming what damage has been identified, whether any hidden or structural damage was found, which parts will be repaired or replaced, and what the expected repair timeframe is.

If you're making an insurance claim, also check how the repairer will coordinate with your insurer and whether you have the right to choose your preferred repairer.
