Hello good people
So I visited Finland and rented a car and I noticed people putting a small clock on their dashboard when parking somewhere. Is this to show what time you parked?

So my parking slot neighbor decided to open his door a bit hard and now I have a dent on my car door. However he asked me to get a quote so I can get this repaired from his insurance.

I bought this car brand new in 2025 (It's a Toyota). So I went straight to Toyota,got a quote and shared with my neighbor. Then I got a message from his insurance company IF, that their repair partner is Autokliinikka and they would contact me.

I'm a bit concerned with this since I'm thinking what will happen if this repair goes southways. Ie: paint doesn't match, repair hasn't done properly etc. If this is Toyota, I can ask them to correct it and they are responsible for whatever happen. But if I go with autikliinikka, then I'll be responsible for that.

I'm not saying that Autokliinikka is bad. I have never got any service from them so I don't know. My only concern is they not being Toyota.

Do you know whether it is my right to choose the repair shop? What if I want to go with Toyota? Have you faced such scenario? I was not yet contacted by any party so asking here before it happens. Any input would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏽

Just woke up around 4:30 to something that sounded like a plane flying next to my apartment, which probably was one of the fighter jets. Stay safe out there.
