BMW 3 Series Compact E46 - Transportation to repair garage - insurance claim - smotty

My car was hit in a car park and I have all the insurance details and he admitted it was his fault.

After a painful few weeks battling with the accident management company I agreed to have my car door repaired rather than replaced.

So the "approved garage" picked up the car today. However, someone has just told me I should have insisted the car was transported to the garage and not driven.

Where do I stand on this??

Providing the driver was insured what is the problem. Garages do drive customers cars.

Far less chance of further damage being driven.

Cars only need to be transported if they're not driveable - when I last needed minor repairs, I drove to the repairer and collect the courtesy car there.

In what way does this cause you a material impact or loss?

Where do you stand? Misled, it would appear.

A BMW? Do hope it wasn't Aldi then.

There again, it might just have been an ex-RAF bod doing his job.
