Car reversed into

A few weeks ago a guy reversed into the front of my car.
Took his details and got a quote the following morning for £590.
I phoned the guy up and told him the price.....after he'd finished spitting out his cornflakes I just said "Look, it will cost what it costs - do you want to go through insurance?"

In the end he took the phone number for the repair centre and spoke to the guy who had given me a quote.
He then called me back half an hour later to say he'd negotiated a discount and the new quote was £490 :)

Hats off to the guy.
I still got my car repaired via the main dealers and he managed to get £100 knocked off - everyone happy!

should have used Europa or Helphire, they would have prevented you having to deal with the back tracking after finding out they are ripping off themselves.

Ha ha I thinks it's funny, now they are asking if I had a guaranteed hire car on my policy and if I had legal protection, I'm insiting on a like for like car by Wednesday because I have meetings all day Thursday and that's when they are picking the mazda up,

Enterprise said all they have is Puntos left (liars) so I've asked for a Merc, they also asked if I can pick it up, nope delivery please :D
 
When my X3 was in for work at the bodyshop they gave me a Clio so i kicked up a stink, Aviva authorised a Range Rover sport at (£80 per day hire) which I had for 8 weeks due to their sheer incompetence.

All that needed doing was an MOT after a minor repair, instead it sat at Sytners Leicester for 8 weeks gathering dust.

Don't accept a fob off say you need the car for sales calls and lots of travelling.
 
I used helphire when my Asta got bashed last year, they were great!

They got me a newer better model astra than mine (mine= 54 1.7cdti).

I was gutted when I got the call to drop it off and pick mine up.
 
It's a Mondeo!!

Haven't seen it yet it's at home, miissus says it's too big she won't drive it but she's oK driving the Mazda 6

Sounds a bit cheap to me, only £80 a day!
 
Mondeo 1.8d tdci Zetec

Awful really awful, feels like your always in the wrong gear, minute power band, interior nice but no gadgets apart from A/C and it's massive compared to the Mazda 6

I can imagine it being quite nice with a decent lump but this is quite tedious and irritating, I was looking forward to driving it to work tomorrow as a change to my 125 but I think I'll ride
