Reducing Stress After an Incident
When a driver is involved in an accident, the priority should always be their safety. Once they are safe, the administrative stress begins. Our accident management service is designed to lift that entire burden from your shoulders. From the moment the incident occurs, we take charge of the logistics. We handle the recovery, manage the communications, and deal with the paperwork. You simply focus on your business while we handle the rest.
Minimizing Fleet Downtime
An idle vehicle is a drain on your profitability. Every hour a van or car stays in the workshop is an hour of lost productivity for your company. Our entire process is optimized for speed. We have pre-negotiated repair schedules with our network of approved garages. We push for rapid diagnostics and quick repair turnarounds, ensuring your business operations suffer the least amount of disruption possible.
Ensuring Safety to Industry Standards
Repairing a vehicle isn't just about making it look new; it is about ensuring it remains safe to drive. We do not cut corners. Every vehicle we manage is repaired to the highest industry standards. We ensure all safety systems—including airbags, sensors, and structural components—are restored to their original factory specifications. This guarantees your driver has the peace of mind that their vehicle is completely roadworthy.
Value-Driven Repair Management
We know that fleet costs are critical to your bottom line. We provide a robust audit of all repair invoices to ensure you are only paying for necessary work. We negotiate hard with repairers to secure competitive parts and labor rates without compromising on quality. You get the best possible value for your repair spend, helping you keep your total cost of ownership as low as possible.
Full Visibility Through Our Reporting
You never have to wonder what is happening with a repair. We provide real-time updates from the first notification of loss until the final invoice is paid. Your fleet manager will receive clear, concise reports on the repair progression. This gives you complete visibility, allowing you to manage your fleet's resource planning with accurate information about when your vehicles will be back on the road.
Expertise Across All Brands
Our expertise covers every make and model of vehicle. However, as a proud division of the Johnson & Perrott Motor Group, we have deep, expert knowledge of Ford, KIA, Land Rover, MG, Opel, Peugeot, and Volvo. We know these vehicles inside out. We work closely with these franchise networks to ensure that original manufacturer parts are used whenever possible, keeping your warranty intact and your vehicle performance at its peak.
Supporting Your Duty of Care
As an employer, you have a strict legal duty of care to ensure your vehicles are safe. Our accident management service is a key part of your compliance strategy. By centralizing the repair process, we create a documented, professional trail for every incident. This proves that you took every necessary step to ensure your fleet remained safe and compliant following any road incident, providing a critical layer of protection for your business.
The Advantage of Local Irish Knowledge
Road incidents can happen anywhere, from the busy streets of Dublin to the rural roads of Munster. Our recovery and repair network covers the entire country. Because we are locally based, we understand the specific nuances of the Irish insurance and repair market. We provide that "boots on the ground" service that is missing when you deal with nationalized, faceless call centres. We are here, we are local, and we are ready to assist.
Simplified Insurance Liaison
Dealing with insurance claims is one of the most tedious aspects of running a fleet. We act as the bridge between your business, your drivers, and the insurance companies. We ensure the correct information is captured at the scene, we provide the necessary documentation, and we advocate for your interests throughout the claim process. We turn a complicated, adversarial experience into a managed, professional transaction.
Preparing for a Sustainable Future
As you transition your fleet to electric vehicles, the repair process changes. EVs require specialized handling, particularly regarding battery safety and high-voltage electrical systems. Our repair network is already equipped to handle the latest electric technology. We are training our technicians and vetting our garages to ensure they meet the specific requirements of electric commercial vans and passenger cars, ensuring your fleet is future-proofed.
Your Partner in Fleet Resilience
We don't just fix cars; we help you build fleet resilience. By analyzing your accident data, we can help you identify trends. Are certain drivers having more accidents? Is there a specific route causing trouble? We provide the insights you need to improve driver safety and prevent future incidents. We are committed to a long-term partnership that makes your fleet safer, more reliable, and more efficient year after year.
