Car in at local garage for mechanical repair. Resolved and taken for a test drive. Somebody bumped into rear (ie 3rd party). Bumper scraped and holed thus needs a new bumper plus brackets and finishing strips.

My dilemma is do I inform MY insurance company? As far as I am concerned, the garage and 3rd party can resolve without my involvement.

Why do I not want to call my insurance company - cynical side of me suggests that the claim (even if simply a note) will be logged on my file even in these bizarre circumstances.
