If you're unfortunate enough to have an accident, follow the information below, contact CarPro and leave the rest to us.We liaise with your insurance company and handle the entire process. We can
also provide a pick-up and delivery service Auckland-wide.
You DO have the right to choose your repairer. You don't have to accept any repairer recommended by your insurer or tow truck company; it wont affect your claim.
We've put together an 'accident checklist' brochure to help you in the event of an accident.
Download a copy here; print and keep a copy in your glove box. If you have an accident then use this leaflet as a handy reference and more importantly, to record the details of the
other parties involved.
