Your rights after a non-fault accident

If another driver was responsible, you may be entitled to recover the cost of repairs and suitable replacement transport while your car is off the road. You are also free to choose who carries out the work. Your insurer may recommend its own network, but the decision is yours.

Why choose Partridge

Repaired to manufacturer standards. Your MINI is repaired by MINI trained technicians at our Approved Bodyshop, following the manufacturer’s repair methods.

Genuine parts only. We fit genuine MINI parts, protecting the safety, finish and value of your car.

Technology, correctly restored. Driver assistance sensors and cameras are recalibrated to factory specification after repair.

Your excess and no claims discount protected. Where costs are recovered from the at-fault party’s insurer.

One point of contact. We liaise with the insurers on your behalf and keep you informed throughout.

A replacement that suits you

A standard courtesy car is rarely a like-for-like replacement. Where your claim allows, we arrange a comparable vehicle, so a MINI driver remains in a car of similar standard while repairs are completed.
