Lurgan Accident Repair Centre

Hi folks i'm looking for some information.

My 18yo daughter had the misfortune of being struck by another motorist. His insurance company is based in England and the only authorised repair centre they use in NI is Lurgan Accident Repair Centre. Living in Carrick I have no knowledge of the firm or the standard of their workmanship. I've looked at their website but its useless. If she uses this firm she will have no upfront excess to pay.

Has anyone on here have any information they would like to share?

The problem my daughter has is that being so young her excess is over £500 and if she stays local and uses another repair company that we are familiar with she will have to pay the excess and wait for it to be paid back.

    My sister uses them in her work and says they are reputable. She has had no problems with them.

    They've been there for a long time and I've never heard anything disreputable about them.
