    What damage? More details. Accident or deliberate or careless?

    The issue is where the free recovery dropped the car off.

    Wouldn't you be better off lodging a claim against the actual recovery company rather than the people that gave them the contract?
    Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car
    Oversteer is when you hit a wall with the back of your car
    Horsepower is how fast your car hits the wall
    Torque is how far your car sends the wall across the field once you've hit it

    By normal standards you hedge your bets and try against both but obviously finally only take from one if both accept liability
