<p>Searching for a car body shop near you brings up plenty of choice. These are the things that separate a good bodyshop from a risky one.</p>
<h2>Check the accreditations</h2>
<p>Look for BS 10125, the British Standard for vehicle damage repair, and staff trained to industry standards. It shows the bodyshop is independently audited.</p>
<h2>Read the reviews</h2>
<p>Every Solution Repair member must hold a customer rating of 4.8 stars or above to join the network.</p>
<h2>Ask about the warranty</h2>
<p>A confident bodyshop will put a written warranty on its paint and workmanship.</p>
<h2>Electric and ADAS equipped cars</h2>
<p>Modern cars carry cameras and radar that may need calibrating after a repair, and electric cars need trained technicians. Ask whether the bodyshop can handle both.</p>
<h2>Courtesy cars and excess</h2>
<p>Ask whether a courtesy car is available. On non-fault claims our members cover up to £500 of your excess.</p>
