Damage to courtesy car - lower control arm
Shonzz
Posts: 1 Newbie
I'm currently using a courtesy car through my insurance company whilst mines is in for repair. (Damage caused by me taking left turn too tight, no other cars involved). Today I noticed that the steering was a little off and that the suspension felt none existing as I was going over small bumps. My friend checked it for me and advised that the left lower control arm was bent. Now I'm not sure what to do, as I can't recall curbing the car or doing anything that would have caused this. Should I tell the garage who are lending me the car? Or should I repair this myself? I know I can't drive it because it doesn't feel safe. I've got it for another fortnight aswell so I can't just say nothing and pretend it wasn't me. I'm worried if I tell the garage they will put it through as a seperate claim. Any advice?

Be honest and tell the hire company what has happened, anything else is fraud"It is prudent when shopping for something important, not to limit yourself to Pound land/Estate Agents"
