Car Insurance Query (9 replies)

Before Christmas, two builders came out to me to quote for some work. I live in a narrow lane and I noticed from inside the house that, when they were leaving, they were having trouble getting out of the parking area, around the corner of the property and back out into the lane, but I didn't think anymore about it... Until I noticed the following day a crease in the upper rear door, about where you would expect a pick-up's bumper to have hit it, and the lacquer having been broken around it, which arguably looks more unsightly than the crease itself.

I mentioned it to the builders who said they were sure they didn't hit anything but for me to get a quote to repair it from someone they knew, which I did (£160), to which they have replied that they're still convinced they didn't hit anything, but if I use them for the building work, they will knock the money off their bill.

My OH tells me to leave it, especially as it's an old car, but it's annoying me, so was seeking a wider consensus from the SHA community!
