Question 1

Do Hamilton panel beaters offer courtesy cars?

Accepted Answer

Some larger Te Rapa and Frankton workshops keep a couple of loan vehicles, but they're small, in demand, and generally only offered once repairs begin. Nothing covers the wait beforehand.

Question 2

I commute into Hamilton from Cambridge — can you still help?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We deliver across the Waikato, including Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Morrinsville, Huntly and Ngaruawahia, 24/7.

Question 3

What if my car is a write-off rather than repairable?

Accepted Answer

You keep the replacement vehicle until your total-loss settlement is actually paid — not until the assessor makes a decision. That gap is often several weeks.

Question 4

Do I need a courtesy car benefit on my policy?

Accepted Answer

No. Accident replacement vehicles for not-at-fault drivers don't rely on your own policy at all — including if you're third-party only or uninsured.
