Thanks for your assistance folks I did in fact go with Shannon's, and can report they're nice folks to deal with.
A month in to the contract, and an unfortunate young fellow with a few life lessons short of middle age. scuffed my front end ( deep scratches and to the bonnet bumper and RH headlight ) as he tried to make his way through a chicane a bit quicker than physics would recommend. the young fellow was driving a Silvia 89 without rego or even plates/ unroadworthy/ uninsured and not even his car but a brothers friend or some such. to many anomalies for me to gather any reliable details so had to call the boys in blue to help me out.
I am pleased to say Shannon's were just great.
I rang the claim in at 8pm and was informed by 8:30pm ( 30 mins) that my claim was approved with no excess and no effect on my rating1.
I asked them to recommend a repairer and they refereed me to the local BMW specialist. within 4 days the job was done. I have no idea what the cost of repair was ( a matter for the repairer and Shanon's to sort out ) but was told that the new headlight was worth $1590 trade and the bumper respray of alone was worth $500 ish (glad I'm wasn't paying)
I'm now not only a "car enthusiast" but also a "Shannon's enthusiast."
