I was rear-ended at traffic lights and had no idea where to start with the repair process. A friend recommended Hamilton Auto Centre and I'm really glad I went. They assessed the damage thoroughly, including some damage to the tow bar mounting that I hadn't noticed, documented everything clearly, and kept me updated at every stage of the repair. The car came back in great condition and the whole process was much less stressful than I expected.
After an accident I wasn't happy with the repair scope the other party's insurer had approved, it didn't cover everything that had been damaged. Hamilton Auto Centre did a thorough independent assessment, documented the additional damage properly, and gave me the information I needed to go back to the insurer. Everything was eventually covered and repaired correctly. Really appreciated the honest and thorough approach.
