I'm thinking of letting these guys deal with the recent damage to my car. Background here: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5651375
I know these companies have a seriously bad rep but I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has used this one in particular. They have guaranteed me that I will not be liable for any charges if they cannot recover from the third party. I will insist on this in writing before letting them proceed.

Accident management companies. Another reason why we have sky high insurance costs. Nothing but parasites. Get the repairs done at a garage of your choosing. Forget about the accident management company.0

Not sure if the same company but when i rang the Renault accident support line 2 years ago i was directed to Crash services, from memory based in Newry?
Found them very professional and rang with constant updates,they guaranteed a hire car of similar make to my own which insurance company could not promise and also able to receive a cheque for several hundred pounds for depreciation of my car which again the insurance company did not offer.0 -
Don't ever use these companies.
Crash represented me for what should have been a £400 repair with no liability issues.
It was nearer £3000 before they had finished. The damaged panel had been repaired not replaced. Surveyors, Engineers, solicitors, van hire (I could have hired a Ferrari cheaper) all had an exorbitant invoice. My own insurance went up as I had a "not at fault accident". Then half the solicitors in the country acquired my personal number & phoned me about my non existent injuries & how I should see their private consultant. DONT!0 -
