CGU Smash Repairs

CGU is committed to delivering a great claims experience, and part of that is through our quality repairers and assessors.

Why use a CGU smash repairer?

You can save time and avoid the hassle of obtaining quotes for replacement goods or organising tradespeople by taking advantage of CGU’s smash repairers. Our extensive network can provide you with prompt attention at a time convenient to you.

National presence

We have over 500 quality repairers throughout Australia, who are ready to help you in your time of need, no matter where you are located. We are committed to supporting local communities and local relationships, which is why we’ve built a strong network of local suppliers who are based near you.

How we select our repairers

We ensure any CGU smash repairer adheres to strict quality and customer service standards.

Each of our smash repairers has been through an extensive selection process ensuring they are thoroughly professional, deliver work to the highest standard, and combine it with outstanding customer service.

These businesses are compliant with all relevant regulatory regulations and are measured against strict performance criteria including timeliness and customer satisfaction.

Guaranteed quality and regular monitoring

One of the major reasons for using one of our smash repairers is that we can guarantee the quality of their workmanship whereas we cannot guarantee the quality of workmanship of other suppliers. We do this by continually monitoring the performance of our repairers.

We conduct quality audit inspections of our repairers, and capture feedback from customers to ensure our repairers are delivering great service and the best quality.

Our claims assessing services

CGU have a specialised national Claims Assessment Team, who is responsible for managing both our motor and home claim assessments. We have professionally trained internal assessors and also work with a range of external assessing providers across all states to ensure we maintain satisfactory customer service.

At the time of lodgement our Claims Consultants will be able to advise you of the claims assessment process for your specific claim.

Our assessing teams work to complete your claims assessment as soon as possible, we generally work to complete motor assessments within a 24 hour period, so that you receive timely and quality service.

You will be able to arrange your motor repair appointment at the time you receive the quote from the repairer – this will help reduce the assessing and repair process and ensure that the repair work is planned for a time that suits you.

CGU will telephone you after we authorise their quote, so you can confirm the repair booking with your repairer.

CGU Repairer Network

We want to be the customer of choice for our Smash Repairer Network, while obtaining the best value across cost, quality and timeliness. We believe that the key to success is through building long-term relationships based on accountability, transparency and respect.
