Yep the car is fully comp. In the last year 2 people of done a hit and run and 1 person has hit me and exchanged details, so I've already had the 3 times thing!

Guess I will just have to pay for the repair myself, does anyone know a good sprayer around the Sutton/Carshalton/Wallington area?

The whole episode has put me off buying a brand new car, I would never buy one again. Too many people who are jealous idiots!
Hi

We used

When some tt reversed into my wife's 2015 e class in a pub car park. They did a perfect job and the owner is a skyline nut who knows a friend of mine that has a skyline and my friend recommended them to me. Not as close as you would like but not far from east Croydon station


Cheers

Thanks will keep these in mind if nothing comes from the complaint.

In similar circumstances to the OP, where my insurance weren't prepared to fight the lies of the moron who hit me, Europa Consultants (a PH'er) happily took it on and sorted it all out for me.

Update heard back from the mrs insurance this week after looking into my complaint for 6 weeks. Turns out the 3rd party insurance admitted liability in jan but we were never informed. They sent us £50 goodwill gesture and the car is going to be fixed at cost to third party. very happy right now!

Great news, I have found in the past that insurance companies can be very disorganised and like to drag out claims if you use your own insurance company in a non fault claim. Thats why the last two times I was hit by a 3rd party I have gone direct to their insurer, they are always most helpful and sort everything out quickly as it saves them money cutting out one of the middle men.
