Hello,

I've just had my seven hit by another car by it puling out onto the roundabout i was on frown
Been in touch with insurers and they are struggling to find a garage to take on the repairs .
I wonder if anyone one knows of any garage that would take on the repair . I'm in the northamptonshire area and that would be preferable but would go farther out if needs be.

thankyou

struggling in what way? Is the repair minor/not worth doing to them or major/outside of what they want to take on?

Caterham Midlands near Leicester is not far away if they wanted to use a full Caterham type service or any of the approved race teams would be a good place to start,

We're in Oxfordshire and might be able to help depending on the insurance companies views

Not a huge job i think it wasn't high speed , the front left wheel took the most impact which broke the left shock mount and a little dent on the side bodywork where the wheel impacted so not too difficult i think . The insurance came back and said they were struggling because it was too specialist

Thankyou for the info , the insurance didn't seem too fazed when i said i may not be able to get someone local , so if you have a company name i would gladly put you forward smile
