Recommend me a car body shop Stoke on Trent/Crewe/Stafford/Leek/Macc ish for rear bumper repair please.
I reversed my new to me car into a wall recently while away on holiday (in the UK). 2020 Kia Ceed SW. Reverse sensor went off just as (or just after) I hit it. Sensors and a camera not enough to assist the idiot with the steering wheel (me). Minor damage but it has split the bumper and it's a big daft wrap around bumper. It is insured for own damage and I rate my insurers highly (Direct Line) but before I submit a claim and have to disclose it for the next 3 to 5 years on renewal and swallow the possible hike in premium, I am considering getting quotes for a repair funded by me. If it's close(ish) to my excess I might pay privately to avoid claiming. In any event, even if I go through insurance I may prefer to use a workshop of my choosing rather than whoever DL may farm it out to (seen a few threads on here about avoiding that). I've had a look on Dave Google and seen some decent reviews but there's often no substitute for direct experience.
Any recommendations?
