Typical time taken to repair?

How long does it typically take the insurance company to repair a damage?

Wondering how long we'll be without the car.

    Never :) The insurance company dont repair it.


    How long will it take the repair shop? Depends how busy they are and how difficult your repair is and how long to obtain the correct parts or paint etc.

    Days/Weeks, No curtesy car?

  • No courtesy car - temp/short term insurance.
  • If it's just a new bumper, two days.

    Rebuilding front end, and suspension, followed by respray, two weeks.

    And that's from the insurance company agreeing to the quote and the garage giving a date for starting the work.
