Why Apex

You've had the accident. That should be the worst part.

Most people walk in having never claimed before, holding a case number and no idea what happens next. We do that part for you — the assessor booking, the authorisation, the parts, the follow-up calls.

What you get is one number to phone, a car you're not embarrassed to drive in the meantime, and a repair that still looks right in five years' time.

  • We run the claim. You give us the case number and we deal with the insurer, the assessor and the parts authorisation from there.
  • Courtesy car, no charge. Subject to availability on booked-in repairs — ask when you drop off and we'll hold one for you.
  • Colour matched by spectrophotometer. We read the paint off your actual panel, not off the code — which is why blended repairs don't show up in daylight.

What customers say

Cars back on the road, claims closed.

A few recent words from customers across the northern suburbs.

“Someone went into the back of me on Voortrekker and I'd never claimed before. Apex phoned the insurer, sorted the assessor and had me in a courtesy car the same morning. Car came back better than it went in.”
Nadia P.Parow — rear-end collision
“Hail got the bonnet and the roof. They pulled almost all of it out without repainting, so the car kept its original paint — which the dealer noticed when I traded it in.”
Werner du T.Durbanville — hail damage
“We run eleven bakkies and Apex handle the lot. They quote straight, they don't hold vehicles longer than they said, and the invoices match the estimate every time.”
