Hi,
My name's Chris and I live in Reading. I was recommended this site by a very helpful Asda security guard. I parked my car in the gym carpark around 7am last Monday and when I returned I found that someone had crashed into the rear, driver-side wheelarch area and driven off without leaving any details. See attachment for pic.
I've logged it with the police but they're going to take another 2 weeks to even decide whether or not to make any further inquiries. If they're not able/willing to track down via CCTV the person who did it, I really don't want to claim off my insurance if I can avoid it.
I have no experience in carrying out bodywork repairs myself, and although it had been suggested to me to try to pull this dent out, it looks quite nasty and I don't want to screw it up, so I was wondering where would be the best place to take it to be repaired? Any guesses on what would be a reasonable amount to pay?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can share.
Chris
