A car behind me gave a good solid shunt into the back of my Leaf. Doesn't seem to be much damage from casual inspection but I understand that internally the bumper may have deformed to absorb the impact and thus it still needs to be repaired. I'm not sure if I'll deal with it privately or via insurance (I suppose it depends on the cost). I contacted my local Nissan garage who said they outsource the repair anyway and gave me the contact for the company they use. I then contacted them and they said they charge £35 fee for the estimate if I'm doing it privately and free if I'm doing it via insurance (sounds like a ploy to get more profit going via insurance). I then contacted another Nissan garage, who seemed a bit clueless. They said they'd give it a casual inspection but when I pressed them whether they'd be looking behind the bumper for other damage, they seemed very reluctant.
Anyway, is there a good recommendation for anyone in London (preferably, NW or N London) to do this repair?
Thanks
