Another one had an accident
 

Not happy with my Sainsbury's delivery this afternoon. Th driver chose to rearrange the front of my S8 :mad:

I'm supposed to be driving it to Ireland on Tuesday too...

Attachment 13832

caught, fault admitted and insurance ok?

Sucks to see this happening to our cars, its like they are magnets for bad drivers, I know they are big, but it seems all of our damage comes from when we aren't even in them!

Yeah, he was delivering to us anyway. I've called Audi Ensurance so will see what happens now. Bristol Audi will be fixing it.

Damn :(

Really feel for you Pete. I hope you get it fixed soon.

Thanks, it's just that I could really do without the hassle now! I'm getting an A8 hire car as replacement though and on the plus side, I no longer need to fit the PDC sensor I bought from A8 Parts as it should now be fixed under the insurance!

Thats really crap!! its bad when you do it yourself but doubly so when some asole does it to you. :(

Sorry to hear this and can emphathise after mine was hit recently. Glad to hear that fault wasn't questioned - too easy for people to say it was the other way around!

The driver was very apologetic about it. Just an accident and no one was hurt.

My concern now is that the insurance company may write it off, there's a fair amount of stuff needing replacing on the front plus the hire car...:Confused:

The hire car is irrelevant to write-off decisions, they need to do that as the collision screwed up your travel plans. It's a cost they have to bear whatever.

Insist on a repair, it's your right, the damage doesn't look significant.
If they argue insist they find an equivalent replacement first - you know they can't!

That argument worked for me on my first S8, and it was stolen and crashed with no-one found to blame/charge. Over £20K to fix but they did it! :eek:

Omg these people you saw mine not as bad as that it got wrote off that was for just two doors some one left there handbrake off it rolled into mine then on mothers day a women pulls out ito the side of me look in my pic folders you will see damage hope you get it fixed
