Exactly everyone knows

At least she's admitted to it, unlike the silly bint who backed into my escort and drove off despite having 4 people watching her do it.

Ring the police "Yeah, bring your documents into the station." How's that going to help? Lazy feckers.

I can't believe the number of people who drive 4x4's who can't handle them. I was on a job last week and a bloke in the car park in a pajero was trying to wave me out of his way so he could get round a corner.

If that isn't bad enough, I could have got an XLWB Sprinter round the corner and through the gap without a problem.

For him, it was that tight he actually had to put his phone down when a bloke I was working with knocked on his window and yelled "Dude - I could get a f**king bus though that!"

Sorry to hear that dude. I had a kind of similar expereince. But my car was rear ended weeks after i bought it. Luckily the guy just like yours admitted fault. Use this to your advantage.

You can claim through her company without paying a penny in excess e.t.c. This may be good for you, especially if your young and have a high excess because of that like me

You dont go through your insurance company, so you dont need to tell them, unless u just notify em.

You just need to get her to phone her company and let her admit to them that she hit into u. I did it this way. And when the other party's company contacted me I just told them that I can only have it done by VW otherwise it will void my warranty.

Even if its not just say that as its a valid excuse. Mine was under warranty but it didnt have a clause like that at all, i just said that as I wanted a proper job and paint match, making it unnoticable.

Sorry to see the damage mate!

Are you sure your VW garage has its own paint shop? I worked in the trade and dealers just recommend one they're pally with.

If I was you, I'd ask on a few forums and see who people in your area recommend.

All the best,

sorry to see that ben, bet u felt sick mate??
glad u have faith in VW, i lost mine after they left me with 2 dents (one in either wing) that i didn't request!!

firstly they tried saying that they were on the car when i left it with them, so me and my dad kicked up a stink and they ended up taking full responsibility!!
they got the dents repaired, reserviced the car for free, cleaned inside, washed the engine and washed the outside!!

hope u get everything sorted quickly mate!!

Nice one Dan.

i was just lucky really that my dad was there, generally speaking i'm quite placid but i fume on the inside, my dad tho knew the service manager and kicked up a stink with him!!

the dents tho were in identical places on either wings, no way that i could have dented my car with that accuracy!!
and to this day i have no idea what caused the dents!! could have been one of those ramps that raises up maybe??

I'm like that, that's why I get my dad to come with me when I do stuff like that
