Accidents are stressful — whether it’s a minor scrape in a car park or a more serious collision, the last thing you want is uncertainty about where to take your vehicle.
At David May Motor Services we take that worry away. As an insurance-approved car body shop, we’re trusted by leading insurers to restore vehicles to their pre-accident condition with precision, care, and full compliance with industry standards.
What Does “Insurance-Approved” Really Mean?
When a garage is insurance-approved, it means we’ve been vetted and accredited by insurance companies to meet strict requirements for:
Repair quality – We work to BS10125 standards, the recognised British Standard for vehicle body repair, ensuring every job meets rigorous safety and quality benchmarks.
Technical expertise – Our technicians are fully trained and regularly updated on the latest repair methods, materials, and technologies for all makes and models.
Use of genuine parts – Where required, we fit manufacturer-approved parts to maintain your car’s safety, performance, and resale value.
Customer service – We’re committed to clear communication, timely updates, and a smooth repair process from start to finish.
