Insurance Repairs in Kenya Made Simple

By Pit Performante'

Accidents happen fast.

Faster fixes beat long waits every time.

After a crash in Kenya, drivers often face trouble - not from faulty insurance, yet confusion around fixing their cars. Problems like holdups, denied payouts, or shoddy fixes tend to stem from overlooked actions, thin paperwork, since choosing the wrong workshop plays a part.

Every day at Pit Performante', insurance repairs roll through our shop like clockwork. Here’s a single page breaking down each step of that journey - while showing where corners might be cut on your vehicle. Watch closely; small details often slip when routines take over.

What To Do After An Accident

Right where it happened, that is where your claim begins.

Ensure everyone is safe

Take clear photos of:Vehicle damage, Number plates, Accident scene.

Exchange driver and insurance details

A report may help when harm seems severe or unclear. Officers can provide documentation if questions arise later.

Tip: Good photos = faster approvals.

Understand What Your Insurance Covers

Comprehensive Insurance.

Your car gets fixed if something happens to it

Your payment stays the same no matter what happens after that

Maintenance work gets covered when approval comes through.

Third-Party Insurance.

Faulty repairs on someone else's car? That’s what it handles. Bumps, dents, cracks - when your mistake hits their ride. Nothing about your own wheels. Just the aftermath you caused elsewhere.

Your car is not covered

Filing through outside parties often slows things down - proof matters more here. A paper trail becomes essential when others are involved.

Report claim early

After the crash happens, tell your insurance company right away - within two days at most.

You’ll need:

Claim form

Accident photos

Police abstract (if required)

Driving license & insurance certificate.

Falling behind on reports drags down each step that follows.

Assessment and Garage Approval

A claim expert gets picked by the insurance company to:

Inspect the damage

Approve repair scope

Authorize a garage

When harm occurs, coverage steps in - yet just if it matches set rules. Approval decides what gets covered.

A good garage makes all the difference here.

Why Choose Pit Performante?

Picking a repair shop? Go with one the insurer suggests or choose someone you trust instead.

Pit Performante

Work directly with loss assessors

Push for correct, safe repairs

Prevent cheap shortcuts

Common Coverage in Insurance Repairs

Body panels (bumper, bonnet, fenders)

Headlights and brackets

Suspension and steering (if accident-related)

Panel beating and paintwork

Lasting harm, aging effects, or improvements aren’t paid for by insurance. Instead, those fall outside typical protection.

Extra Stuff and Car Pickup

Before release:

Pay your policy excess

Look at how the paint job holds up. Check if doors line up right. See whether the wheels turn smoothly when you move the wheel

Last check shows clean dash. Zero alerts glowing. All indicators quiet now

Never rush inspection.
