Frequently asked questions about Coles insurance smash repairs
FAQs
Yes — many Coles Car Insurance policies include a choice of repairer, allowing you to nominate Sheen even if we’re not listed on their approved supplier list. We can help you check your policy wording and submit a quote to Coles for approval, so you stay in control of your repair process.
Coverage depends on the level of cover you selected (e.g. comprehensive vs third party) and the details outlined in your PDS. If you're unsure what’s included, our team can help you interpret it. We also recommend reviewing our blog, 7 important things to check in your car insurance PDS.
You're still entitled to ask for Sheen, especially if your policy includes a choice of repairer. In some cases, Coles may request a second quote — we’ll help you prepare everything needed to avoid delays or complications in the approval process.
Generally, no. Choosing your own repairer like Sheen won’t impact your excess or the success of your claim, provided your policy supports this choice. We can clarify this during your quote consultation and ensure you’re making an informed decision.
Absolutely. Some Coles customers come to us before deciding to lodge a claim, particularly when the damage is minor. We can advise whether it’s worth claiming, or if paying privately for panel beating might be a better financial move. You can also read our blog on whether you should call your insurer or panel beater first for guidance.
Pre-existing damage should be disclosed when taking out your Coles Insurance policy, as it could affect your claim. If you're unsure how this might apply to your situation, feel free to contact us, and take a look at our article on how to insure a car with prior damage for extra clarity.
