Basically my mother was driving our car and apparently gently touched the rear of bumper of a Tesla.
My brother was with her at the time and used his phone to take a pic of the Tesla's rear bumper which showed a little scuff. The woman driving the Tesla refused to allow proper examination. The collision is estimated at 1-2 km /hr and was really a "kiss", as she rolled into the other car. My brother says there was definitely no dent in the bumper and he doubts there was any paint damage.
The woman concerned has refused to show any evidence of the "damage" but apparently has a panel beater recommending the bumper being resprayed.
What should we do about the lack of cooperation with the other owner. She has shown no evidence that there is damage and for all we know is just trying to get a few shopping carpark scratches removed on us.
Of course if there is legitimate damage then my mother will pay the damage.
I just love these people who cause an accident and almost tries to make the other party jump through hoops to get the car repaired. If you crashed into my car, I would want my car repaired properly at your cost at a reputable workshop with zero concern for how much it costs you. You have already caused massive inconvenience to the other driver. Just ask for another quote and move on. Your brother probably pretty much admitted fault at the scene and now you're almost doing a backflip trying to find a way to not pay up.
