Hi Guys and girls,
I need some advice. My car has been damaged by the act of me using a car wash at my local supermarket. Essentially the overhead roller has ripped the rear spoiler off my car and rendered it unsafe to drive in its current state. The supermarket is refusing to accept any liability on this as they have got signage displayed (not clearly i may add) indicating that the carwash should not be used by vehicle with a spoiler even a factory fitted one. Now my car is a Golf GTE 16plate and the rear spoiler is more of but of trim than what i would refer to as a spoiler. I have a had a quote from a local body shop that will be able to carry out the repair but that quote is coming inc £760 inc VAT.
I was wondering a few things
1- Has anyone else encountered a similar issue to this?
2- Is the quote within the sort of range you would expect for this sort of damage?
£- Would you be pursuing legal advice to try and claim compensation for the damage?
Any and all advice appreciated
I have included some.images of the damage for reference
