Lolz @ common sense.............
Why should he have to notify the insurance company of anything to do with the repair?
Isn't it the insurance companies JOB to oversee the repair of the vehicle by a repairer back to a roadworthy condition?
Isnt that why we pay a premium for full insurance cover?
I work in the vehicle repair industry also (and have done so for over 15 years) and I'm often shocked to see "vehicle suitable for recycled parts" on claim approvals for vehicles under 5 years old.... What a rort!
What would happen is the case of a vehicle on stock OEM rims that had become obsolete?....In your eyes the onous is on the owner to source suitable replacements?....Not likely, you wouldn't have many long term policies if that were the case.
