Hello all.
I am new to the forum, and was just looking for some advice really. Unfortunately last week, while driving in my A3 at night, i managed to hit my offside front tyre and back tyre into the curb at around 30-40mph. It was a pretty big bang i heard but i managed to get home as i was only about 2 mins away.
The following day, i noted a flat tyre on the rear wheel and then noted that the side wall had been ripped open. The front tyre's side wall was also damaged and needing a new one. There was also some damage to both alloys
I thought i would get the tyres replaced and did so, however when they were replaced, the guy who did this, noted that the front tyre was facing inwards a bit. Anyway i took the car to Audi to see if anything could be done.
I was then told that the offside front damp is bent and the plan is to replace, the major front wheel components. I have also been told that the 2 offside wheels are buckled and would need replacing.
Anyway to cut a long story short, i have been quoted about £3000 for this work to be done. I am reluctant to go through insurance as i already have a previous incident on my insurance and my insurance is quite high as it is. Do you think this is a reasonable amount for such repair work?
Alternatively would it be worthwhile taking it to an independent dealer, and if i did so would i interfere with my warranty?
Thanks in advance
