I was in a minor accident recently, head on side swipe, mirrors collided on a narrow back road. The driver said I veered towards them. Very hard to know as no lines on the road. I did lose concentration momentarily, I was travelling v slowly behind another vehicle, slight incline and didn't notice we entered a slight bend.
Other car travelling v fast meant strong impact and my side window and wing mirror were shattered. Their wing mirror was broken, and a scuff where the mirror connected with door.
I suggested they get a quote and later replied to their text that I would cover it.
They went to main dealer and have a quote to replace mirror, fix the scuff, and strangely, replace their side window.
My question, is there a procedure to follow to ensure I have a valid record of the works, i.e., can I request before and after pics from the main dealer, and settle the bill with them directly?
Informing my insurance company will incur cost regardless of a claim or not.
