Getting petrol today and someone reversed into our Superb. Didn't actually see the impact but I felt it as the car rocked hard when he hit us. I was sat in the passenger seat and my husband was about to put fuel in the car (at the petrol station).

 

The damage is not dreadful I think, hard to tell because it was gloomy and the car was wet, and the car is dark brown. Certainly the rear door is dented in. Told our insurer and hope the guy is insured as he says he is. Thing is, I hate it when bodywork repairs are done badly. I know it's just a car but I drive past a car each day which has a repaired read door, a silver car, and it looks awful because the paint doesn't match properly. One of the reasons we got this specific car is because it looks so pretty, we really love the dark brown paint on our L&K and it looks really clean and we want it to stay that way.

 

Where is the best place to go? Local bodywork place, or dealer, or what? Years ago my new at the time car was ruined by some bad bodywork that a dealer (Vauxhall) did. I just want to avoid that and get a really good job done hope it doesn't look bad. Any advice gratefully recieved.

Hi, I feel for you, if you are anywhere near South-West London I can give a high recommendation for a firm called Kindertons near Hampton Court.

Thanks, We're not close enough unfortunatley. Bath area.

going to a dealer they will only use a local bodywork company and charge you a premium. They won't do the work themselves. See if you can find out who they use and seek them out. Otherwise talk to locals about who they use.
