My Girlfriends CAR BMW MINI

quoted from the mini forum

Guess what happened to me today.....

i am a teacher at a primary school and we are currently having building work carried out at our school. my mini one which is only about 1 month and half old is the best car in the car park all shiny and new!!

A builder walks towards the car park with a trolly turns to talk to his mate and lets the trolly go!!!!!!!!

guess where the trolly lands????????

yes straight into my baby

it has scratched the passenger side from the panel under the indicator to the end of my passenger door

not just a light scratch it has taken the paint off to the primer!! i can see metal!

he then had the cheek to walk off and pretend nothing had happened, until i got the site manager and he admitted to it!

The big boss told me to get a quote from BMW and they will fit the bill, so i did get a quote............................................. ..

£1500.00 worth of damage!!!! can't wait to tell the idiot tomorrow.

so my_mini_and_i are sad but she'll be fixed soon hopefully so long as they pay out!!

they want to sort it privately, should i ring and log it with my insurance?????

Hate it when people don't have the decency to own up to things like that.

Log it with her insurance for the following reasons:

1) The site manager will NOT want to make an insurance claim, trust me. That'll teach them for running off.

2) If the repairs are not satisfactory, she will have to deal with the garage herself.

3) If the repairs are more expensive than quoted, she may not get the rest of the money.

4) She may not get the money anyway... who says they will honour it (ie will they pay her before hand, or afterwards?).
