How car insurance claim repairs work in Sydney
After an accident, CBS deals with what the vehicle needs: assessing the damage, documenting the proposed work and communicating repair information through the claim process.
Your insurer deals with policy coverage, authorisation and entitlements. Keeping those responsibilities separate makes the next step easier to understand.
Direct answer
During an insurance claim, the repairer assesses and documents the damage, proposes the repair work, communicates with the insurer and completes authorised repairs. The insurer decides what the policy covers.

Insurance claim or private car repair?
CBS can explain the repair considerations. Your insurer should explain your excess, coverage and the implications of lodging a claim.
An insurance claim may suit
Substantial or multi-area damage
Where the likely repair is significantly beyond the policy excess.
Another vehicle is involved
Where liability and third-party information form part of the incident.
The policy offers the right pathway
Subject to coverage and repair authorisation.
A private repair may suit
Damage is minor or isolated
Where the repair scope may be relatively contained.
Repair and excess are comparable
Where likely cost may affect the decision to claim.
No claim has been lodged
Where you want repair context before deciding.
General repair guidance only. Review your policy and confirm coverage with your insurer.
