EscortNreg Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Yes get all the fat jokes outta the way lol. As i pulled into Mcdonalds at half 7 this morning i heard an almighty crack crunch and scrape from under my car... I stopped and got out to have a look.. A metal flip up cover thing they use to cover electric points in the car park had been left open and was sticking out of the ground by a good 6-7 inches... On first look i can see it has cracked my bumper but god knows if it has done any damage to the underside of the car... I am about to call them up now and see what they have to say for themselves... Any advice? I got pictures of the cover but only after a member of staff had driven over it and got out and kicked it down.. He also has hit it!

Lee_2f2f Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) ***Hint*** - "Show us your Shunt" You have no pictures of it up because someone had already kicked it down, unless you have witnesses and can get statements of people, you got no chance.

EscortNreg Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Just had a call from the manager of the mcdonnalds store it happened at.. she was already aware and had my registration... The member of staff that drove over it was a manager and he has reported it all to head office as well as me... So really im pretty much covered, if a manager is backing my story and has hit it as well.. Signed sealed and delivered lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNITERIDER Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 if its beyond economical repair surely they can? like scotty4444's car? if its just a bumper you might get away with it tho depending what you valued the car at when you insured it.
