my fella has just brought me a £22,000 car I’ve only had it 6 days, and yesterday an animal ran in front of my car, I swerved out they way hit a pot hole and popped my tyre, then the engine cut out and wouldn’t start, im
so scared my car is now going to be a write off, it’s in the garage at the moment but apparently there so busy they can’t even look at it till 4 weeks time, I need answers what do you guys think, I’m sorry my anxiety is so high I’ve done nothing but cry all day!

Just call the insurance company

Take it to a garage with availability.

Next time, squash the animal, assuming it wasn't a full on dear. Its very dangerous to swerve like you did.

Four weeks?! Take it to a garage that's actually able to do the work.

Popped tyre is £100 quid to replace

Car not starting isn't due to a pot hole.

Where did you buy it? What's the warranty?

You need a different garage.
