Common sense would say if you had control of the car it would be between you and the insurance company to pay.

Ask yourself what exists in the contractual relationship you have with the pannel beater that would mean that they would protect your car.

The pannel beater might have a “goods in custody” policy.

But you ask how do you make that work? Well I know that the bloke…[Read more]
