Hi guys
Had an awful accident yesterday where a motorbike lost it taking a left hand bend at 80mph. Rear tyre hit the o/s front bumper and wheel/alloy, front tyre copped the rear o/s door, sill, alloy/wheel and rear panel... Needless to say 1) I can't believe no injuries and 2) I'm gutted!!!
Car is a right mess... We were towing the caravan at the time which was also damaged although not as bad. Just about got home but car won't do more than 40mph without becoming unstable at the wheel.
All I'm worried about now is the car getting written off and if I do get it back will it still have the integrity i.e safety wise. I cant afford it to be written off... Won't be able to buy the same car again for the silly values they pay out.
On that note, would I be silly to take my car to Audi for repair? I'd have more confidence in the repair if it was done by Audi, but if their prices are high, there's more chance of them writing the car off which I don't want. OMG what should I do??
Has anyone else been in this position before? I haven't so forgive me if they sound like silly questions.
Car is a 53 plate A6 Avant 2.5TDI quattro sport.
Thanks,
Anthea
