How can I track the progress of my vehicle's repairs?

Motorserve provides regular updates on the progress of your vehicle’s repairs. You can contact us for updates, and we will keep you informed throughout the repair process.

I have a claim excess. How do I pay it, and who do I pay it to?

Your insurer will let you know how much your excess is and how it can be paid. If your insurer has a Pay Excess Online tool, then you can use that to pay your excess.
However if you haven’t already paid the excess directly to the insurer, Motorserve can assist in processing your excess payment when you pick up your vehicle. Please bring a physical and valid credit or debit card to make the payment. Please note that we do not accept excess payments in cash or via Eftpos.
