Hi all,
Unfortunately I have been involved in my first accident in 14 years of driving
I will hold off giving details until claim is settled but suffice to say the Z is looking worse for wear at the moment laid upon the drive.
Insurers preferred repairer is UK Assistance in Wakefield and it is provisionally booked in. Benefit of going down this route is fully guaranteed etc. Just not sure of the quality etc. They say it will be to UK standards bla bla something or other.
I could arrange repair locally at a well respected bodyshop but obviously more work for me and if any problems I assume the insurer will be less likely to assist.
Final concern is, judging from third party reaction, I fully expect disputed liability unless their insurer can talk them around. Not sure how much the insurer would be willing to fight my corner especially if take job away from approved repairer.
Does anyone anyone has any advice? I will report back with pictures and details once everything cleared up. Unfortunately, given its public forum I will hold back details for now.
I need to call them back today to confirm.
Thanks guys and gals.
