So last day of school for my daughter and the GTS goes in for it's MOT tomorrow so I thought I would pick her up in the Maser and give the GTS a run out so no warning lights come on tomorrow and scare the tester as I haven't used the car for about 10 day. Sat in the car and a Qashqai next to me get close and then scrapes all down my side. The mum was very apologetic but left me with a nice bit of damage
The worst bit was she initially hit my car and rather than pulling slowly forward kept on going backwards and so maybe a small scuff was replaced with a proper crumple over the wheel arch. Thankfully I was in the car as I would bet she would have driven off and claimed not to have noticed.
She wants to keep it from her insurer but I don't think she realises how much it's going to be to sort out. I'm guessing it's going to be a bit more than her excess. We've only just moved this year to the are and I don't know of any good bodyshops within the Watford/Slough area. I know the insurers would I would rather use their preferred bodyshop but I would rather use one that someone on here could recommend. Any advice gratefully received on where to send the Maser.
