[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There should be a compromise here. Unless you suspect shoddy work by her body shop or it would require added inconvenience on your part, why not let her find somewhere more affordable? I can understand if she is asking you to add 30 miles driving to get to a specific shop, but otherwise you just seem to want to soak her rather than just trying to make yourself whole.[/quote]

NP. I don't even begin to understand this thinking. If OP ran her car into a wall herself, she would pick the body shop. I don't see any reason why she shouldn't pick the body shop based on whatever criteria she would typically use. It's not her job in any way to make this more convenient or cheaper for the other driver, colleague or not. The colleague caused her harm, not the other way around.[/quote]

A bit of decency. If your friend spilled wine on your shirt by accident and she bought the same exact shirt on sale at one store, would you insist that she buy it full price elsewhere?[/quote]

No, but I would expect she buy the one with the same thread count, not the one from the outlet that might be lower quality, not a used one that someone might have shrunk, etc. I do not think this is the same as that. And, anyway, I would probably tell someone not to worry about a shirt. Choosing your own shop is not about the price. It's about getting a repair that you can trust. I have had multiple experiences at body shops from terrible (forgot a crucial part that another shop found later when I was there for something else) to amazing with attention to all details. All were paid for by insurance so by definition none of the prices were outrageous. But there there's a huge range of quality and trustworthiness, and I want to go somewhere I trust for my car and I don't believe that is indecent.[/quote]

What part of “exact same shirt” is hard to understand?[/quote]

What part of “the person who owned the original shirt is the one who determines whether it’s the exact same shirt” is hard to understand?[/quote]
