Alright guys, right basically i went to VW to get a quote. VWs bodyshop has a guy who does VWs in another Coachwork company. He said they use original parts only, so i assume this should be okay??!? I thought VW have their own bodyshop guy? this guy has his own part in the VW showroom but works for a company called Acton Coachworks -
http://www.acton-coachworks.co.uk/page/actoncoachworks, I guess hes probably approved by em i hope!
They chap was very helpful and friendly. He told me to save the fuss and go through insurance!!! He told me that as I was NOT at fault and the third party claims full liability, convince him to go through insurance, where he phones his company, says he hit into me and declares that its his fault. He has to pay access and I have my car done, AND get a courtesy car from his insurance company. The vw bodyshop guy said he will sort out the claim which takes a week with the third partys insurance company, and my car should be done within 3-4 days
hopefully back to original!
Basically he said he will sort the claim. the third party told me to phone my company and tell them that im claiming through his insurance and not mine (just as a notification) the VW bodyshop guy said he'll sort this out, but i thought i should for re-assurance.
He said he will get everything done. I also told him about the creaking suspension (which werent to do with this as its a common fault) and he said he will sort all that out too, including any stonechips anywhere too (if they can find any
)
I think ive done the right thing now
Other guy werent to happy, but who cares, cos he loses 20% of his no claims and the charge of my access goes to him! (he should have thought of that b4 running into a f*****g idle vehicle
)
