Hi all,

The family Qashqai has gained some battle scars, including (but not limited to) wing, wheel, and suspension damage. Insurance has written off due to usual price of new parts/spraying. Currently mulling over whether to move on or buy back and repair. Should get over £3k after buying back, so with a secondhand wing & wheel (and not replacing headlamp or bumper which only have broken retaining clips/ scrapes) I would hope it would be much cheaper than the insurance's £5k estimate...

So, any recommendations for friendly garages who will do a decent job and be happy to use a few ebay parts (well, just wing and wheel!). What I am concerned about is any further damage under the car (subframe, mounting points etc.) as that could make it totally uneconomical to repair, so definitely somewhere that knows their onions!!

Cheers...
