Last weekend someone (a pedestrian, not someone in a vehicle) was nice enough to put a dent in my nearside front wing whilst it was parked.
Sometimes I despair at such acts of random vandalism. How would they feel if someone put a dent in their car?
Anyway - my insurance company has asked me to get a quote from a Lexus dealership. These are my options:
1. Lexus Hatfield - who do not have their own bodyshop but use another company for their bodywork stuff.
2. Lexus Edgware Road - who do have their own bodyshop.
3. The insurance company's approved garage.
Obviously, option 3 is my least popular choice, however, regarding options 1 & 2, does anyone have any recommendations?
Is it better to use a Lexus bodyshop or a bodyshop approved by Lexus?
Has anyone had experience (good or bad) of using either Hatfield or Edgware Road for bodywork repairs?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
