Well, you can not force someone to repair their own property. Your financial responsibility obligation is to the injured party, not to a repair shop.

If you are liable for damages to someone else's property or vehicle, you are required to compensate that person for the loss you caused. You can not dictate what must be done with the funds you owe them and you can not encumber the funds through a third party without the claimants consent.

It is up to the property owner if he chooses to repair or not to repair and what repair shop, if any he chooses to use. He may choose to use the compensation you owe him toward the purchase of another vehicle, repair the vehicle himself or even use his compensation to go on a personal vacation. The choice is totally up to the property owner.

Your liability and obligation to compensate is not effected by and has nothing to do with what the claimant chooses to do with the compensation.

AnswerIf you have damaged someones car and you're willing to pay for the damage yourself, the owner of the vehicle still has the right to select who they want to fix their car. They get the choice of repair facility but they should not have a problem with you paying the repair facility directly. If they don't like that arrangement and insist that you pay them, only do so from an estimate or receipt from the repair facility and get a receipt signed by the car owner for your payment that spells out what your payment is for.

Sometimes it's cheaper in the long-run to pay for the damage repair and protect your insurance record. If, however, the shuntee wishes to go the insurance route, you have no choice but to agree
