purple highline monster 0 Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 get loads of quotes! and dont forget YOU get to decide who repairs you car not the insurance! unless they agree to fix it with their approved repairers, just watch them, some of these monkeys couldnt tell the difference between a kia and a volvo and will lash your car up!

flexin 0 Posted January 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 just thought i'd give everyone an updatethe bodyshop called and the car will be ready to pick up on monday all fixed.Is there anything i should look for in particular as to the work done or is it just paint finish panel gaps etc Link to post Share on other sites
Matt W 4 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Check all the electrics work and that everything seems to be put back right, like the door trim and the rubber thing (:S) between the two doors where all the wiring goes.Then i guess its just the usual paint finish and match and panels gaps. Also check how the door opens and shuts, should be like new, it shouldn't drop or anything and should shut cleanly! Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Lee 1 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 she was pulling off a petrol fourcourt Love to see that on DVD......... Don't sign anything until ya checked it all over and if ya unhappy tell erm so.Ring ya the insurance company, if its a call centre ask for a name at the head office / complaints. Then write to erm expaining why you are unhappy. Link to post Share on other sites
flexin 0 Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 hi guysi have had a few developments in this saga.the bodyshop has fixed all the bodywork but have managed to break the alarm. So they now have to fit a new full closure alarm at their own cost.I don't know if i should be happy at the prospect of a new alarm or concerned that they broke the old one.john Link to post Share on other sites
