Accident repair arrangementsOur repair partners assess collision-related mechanical faults, including steering, suspension and other affected components. The repair scope is confirmed after assessment.
Specialist partners coordinate the agreed claim work and communications about repairs or total loss. We help connect the vehicle recovery and repair stages.
A badly damaged vehicle may need a total-loss assessment rather than repairs. We can coordinate recovery and the practical steps with the company handling your case. The insurer makes the insurance write-off decision; the settlement and any vehicle-release instructions are explained through the claim process.
A write-off does not mean we promise to repair the vehicle. Our role is to help coordinate the appropriate next step, including access, collection and the agreed assessment arrangements.
We coordinate nationwide recovery through our own team and recovery partners across the UK. The vehicle location, safe access and available equipment are checked for each request. Repair workshop location and non-fault case acceptance are confirmed individually.

If you have suffered a personal injury in a road accident, we can connect you through our partner network with the appropriate legal specialists to discuss whether a personal injury claim may be possible. Where needed, medical assessment can be coordinated through the appropriate provider.
Start with Lifesaver as your recovery and coordination contact. The relevant specialist explains the assessment, their role, fees and terms before you decide whether to proceed. Personal injury and medical services have their own arrangements; the no-cost offer for accepted vehicle recovery and repair cases does not automatically apply to them.
You can request recovery on its own. You do not need to pursue a personal injury claim to arrange vehicle collection or ask about accident repairs.
For confirmed and accepted non-fault cases, the agreed recovery, approved accident repairs and vehicle-damage claim assistance are provided at no cost to you. We and our specialist partners pursue the costs from the at-fault party’s insurer. The services included and acceptance of your case are confirmed before work starts.

No. Around 8 minutes is our usual coordination estimate for suitable available recovery help once we have the details. Claim acceptance, repair assessment and the driver’s arrival time are confirmed separately.
Your name, contact number, vehicle registration, exact location, brief damage details and whether recovery is needed now. Tell us if the vehicle rolls and steers, and whether a claim has already been opened. Photos can follow when it is safe.
We can coordinate recovery and the next practical steps with the claim-handling partner. The insurer decides whether the vehicle is an insurance write-off and handles the settlement through the claim process.
You can still ask for accident recovery and a repair assessment. We explain the price and arrangement before you decide; the accepted non-fault no-cost offer does not automatically apply to other bookings.
Start with a call. We will establish where the vehicle is, whether recovery is needed and which support is appropriate.
