Last week a driver ran into the back of my MX-5. There is no major dent (one or two dings) and a few scuffs which may polish off. I have had previous experience of insurance company "approved repairers" and found they do a shoddy job and whilst I admit to being fussy, it was a very substandard job.

Can I insist on a repairer of my choice? What are your views on the management companies like "Easi-Drive"? Some of the reviews of the latter are not exactly encouraging. Is it better just to admit defeat and live with a slightly damaged car?
