main dealer vs independant for insurance repairs

dommc92

hi everyone
was wondering which would be more expensive for insurance based repairs between a main vauxhall dealer and an independant dealer? any information welcomed

Is this bodywork repairs as it's an insurance job?

Most main dealers ship out their bodyshop work. It's best to go off personal recommendation in my experience. Just because it's a main dealer doesn't mean they're better than an independent.

Very true, only one place I would take my car too locally, the people there work to a standard not a price.

Rarely does a Main dealer do bodywork - Just go to an insurance approved bodyshop , their work is guaranteed too .

Looking for the most expensive option,vauxhall garage near me has a built in body shop which im guessing may be most expensove

Why are you looking for the most expensive option? Is it so you can get a written quote and try and extort the cash from the person that hit your car? Or you want to teach the other person's insurance a company a lesson?

You sound like and idiot to me and the reason why people's insurance policies are so high. I'm sorry I posted on this thread now.

I get the feeling that you are not fit to drive , having those problems , get your car repaired and send your licence back , get a bus pass!

mocking mental health issues isnt big and isnt funny,i hope someone your close to is struck down by it so you can feel 1% of what its like

enfield_freddy

no its not funny , neither is someone that has flashbacks whilst driving ! and cannot concentrate and focus on the job in hand

Your plan to win a write off by getting the most expensive quote won't work.


Before you get a write off the quote will be checked out and your car will be inspected.


Why are you getting a quote anyway?


If your car is so badly damaged then surely you are making a claim and whoever you claim off will sort out inspection/quotes etc.
