[GCA3N]

Sorry rob thats crap mate.

[stoney]

yep gutted need to phone house insurance on Monday morning to see if i can get it done thru that rather than my car insurance

[GCA3N]

Never knew you could do that, you'll be lucky if they do will they not say its an "act of god" so to speak.

[Gismo]

Gutted for you

[Craig]

That's crap Rob.... :frown: hope it's a painless process getting it fixed ;)

[stoney]

well had felt that blew off next doors roof a few years ago and there house insurance coverd it then so dont see why not and if they say act of god then my ans to that is prove that there is a god had a look thru my insh and nothing says its not coverd so dont see why not

[GCA3N]

Keep my fingers crossed then good luck.

[gauldrymini]

Gutted for you Rob:frown:

[AndyP & Lenore]

What a nightmare Rob.:ragin::ragin: Hope your house insurance cough up.

A.

[Stewart]

Nightmare! Hope the insurance does the decent thing. It was absolutely howling here around 5AM and got up and moved the car practically all the way down the drive to get it away from anything. Neighbours house a few doors down lost about seven tiles that thankfully just took out an old wooden well and gnome. If a car had been there it was have been a right off probably.

Anyway I rambling, Wish you all the best with it and a speedy fix.

[EcosseGP]

Think your house insurance should pay out .. They've been expecting claims like this (was on the news). Mates Audi has suffered the same damage when I told him about yours he checked his and discovered big dents and broken slates lying on top of it .. Good luck anyway mate hope there's an easy outcome


At 8000rpm no one hears you scream

[stoney]

thanks guys will let you all know what happens on monday when i phone

[zimbo]

That sucks Rob, hope it gets sorted soon bud :thumbs up:

[RobSco]

Not so good Rob... :frown: ... Hope you get it all sorted as I'm sure you'll be :ragin: as I would be... Just have your answer ready for the insurance company... :yes nod:

[weefossy]

Insurance companies are so busy at present that if a claim is under £500 they will probably just tell you to go ahead with the repair. However don't know if that will apply to damage to anything other than the property itself. Wish you all the best with it Rob. Don't give in easily, if they don't give you the right answer first time, which is what they will probably try and do.

[stoney]

dont worry i wont let them away with it will find out what happens 2morow and i have the feeling its going to be more than £500 as its the whole roof and bonnet scoop and front bumper :(

[AndyP & Lenore]

[stoney]

[stoney]

so can any one recommend a good body shop that i can trust !!! must be a top noch job as it the GP !!!

[cooperchris]

Hope you get it fixed soon rob.

Well gutted mate.

[GCA3N]

I presume your no claims is not protected rob. Tbh mate I can't see that being a cheap fix, maybe an insurance claim is what you'll have to do after all that's what its there for. Anyway good luck either way.

Did you go through your car insurance in the end Rob? I wouldn't have a clue what to do in that situation.

no as it ended up only going to cost me £150 more than my excess so not worth making a claim and that's including my graphics that are £100 from Mini

i am just lucky that i have some good friends and family that can point me in the right direction :thumbs up:

[Craig]

Did you go with the garage in Stirling ??

[Gismo]

Did you tell your insurance?

[stoney]

Did you go with the garage in Stirling ??

and i know he dose really good work as he has done work on my dads Q7 in the past and Audi Stirling send all there cars to them as well


Did you tell your insurance?

nope as i dont want to lose my no claims as i have 7 years now

[Gismo]

nope as i dont want to lose my no claims as i have 7 years nowYou are obliged to inform your insurer of any damage to the car, read your small print, failure to advise them only gives them excuses in the future to not pay out for work.
It won't affect your no claims
