wife crunched car
Comments

Ahem, I am one of those who had a tip like this recently.
Coming out of a tight parking space and hit a high kerb on a blind spot. Crunch is right!
Passenger door scraped like almighty on the bottom about four parallel scrapes, yikes! Door creaking too after.
Anyway, cost 400 in total including a respray. Great job, would never know it happened at all. Initial quote was 250, but paint job and the door meant more, or so my garage man told me!
Didn't go through insurance.0 -
No - we both have (identical) cars and are both covered to drive both cars - on one policyYou won't both lose NCD in the event this is a claim
Only the policyholders NCD will be affected
(You say you have a joint policy, but presumably you mean one of you is the policyholder and the other is a named driver)
Whoever is the policyholder ought to consider protected NCD before the next collision!

this won't need a door - the door is only scratched0 -
If Tesco tried to sue for damage - we would counter sue for dangerous / hidden / badly positioned wall -there are numerous scrapes /paint left on the wall !!If considering keeping this under the insurer's radar, bear in mind If there is any damage to the wall and any chance the incident was witnessed or on cctv then it's worth complying with your policy conditions and informing your insurer (as the wall's owner may well do!)0 -
Is it worth my wife claiming on our joint insurance policy for a dented and scratched car sill and door bottom, caused when reversing out of our local Tesco , she hit a low brick wall (12"high and pointless)
It is about 12 inches long and is not deep
The car is a 3 year old Suzuki Swift
She told me "it suddenly appeared" !!!
Roughly what would this cost if we pay for it ourselves?
Quick question Quentin -
Was this the Tesco station at Ollerton, Nottinghamshire? If it's the same one I hit, then I know why. Message me if you like.I think this job really needs
a much bigger hammer.

That's why it's always best to reverse into parking spaces and drive out!.
Plus she should have took note of any obstacles in the way as she walked back to the car so she could avoid them when she reversed out!.0
