Girlfriend had car crash(not at afult) but agreed to fix privatley. work was very poor can she still claim?

Question

Hi all, my girlfriend was crashed into on a mini-roundabout and the guy to blame said he knew a really good man for the job. Knowing his family we agreed to bypass insurance. However, we picked up the car today and poor quality 2nd hand parts had been used and some parts just re-attached. I was wondering if it was possible to still go through the insurance or is it too late.I took photos of both cars and of the scene of the accident and also got a checklist done at a local crash repair centre. But is it too late for all this?? Please help me :) Thanks

Answer 1

well yes its to late... after you have had repairs done already... but should have had it done right the first time.. but  really  should have not drove it away from the place doing the work if it wasnt right... and  what you wanted done there is the problem... and many places use used parts in making repairs and there nothing wrong with that but it sounds if the problem is the work done was not right and something looks out of place....should have told them to fix it before driving a way
