April 10, 2024 - The Financial Market Commission (CMF) reports on the average repair time of motor vehicles as of the second semester of 2023.
In June 2023, the Commission launched a new platform on its website to check and compare repair times for vehicles that suffer a claim and are covered by general insurance companies supervised by the CMF. Interested parties can access data about repair times by company, vehicle brand and model, and magnitude of the damage, as well as repair shops in the country.
Information on repair times is provided by general insurance companies pursuant to Circular Letter No. 2,236, dated March 6, 2018, which regulates the submission of data related to motor vehicle repair procedures.
The platform is designed for use by policyholders, people planning to take out insurance, and insurance brokers providing advice on the matter.

There were 91,840 insured vehicles with claims in the second half of 2023, a decrease of 4.3 percent compared to the first half of the year (95,921 claims).
