The corner of my M3 front bumper cover and an adjacent panel got scratched when another vehicle did a lane change and side swiped me. Fortunately, I had Tesla cam videos to show the incident, and the other vehicle is at fault according to my insurance company.
Under such circumstances, will the other vehicle's insurance company pay for a bumper replacement? Seems that replacement is cheaper and better than repainting the bumper. I have no collision coverage, so my insurer told me that I will be contacted by the other insurance company to claim for damages.
Do I also get to choose which shop I want the work to be done at? Can I choose a Tesla service center? Should I get it repaired before the other insurance company contacts me, or should I hold off till then?
