    Lionel, you have the right to choose the repairer, regardless of cost. The fellow who hit your car has to make good, it's well within your rights to demand the car be repaired to the standard it was befor being hit.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Where's the switch that turns these little voices on?
    I could really do with some help like that.


    Oh and X3. You have to have a quality repair done.
    My font passenger door were damaged in December. I told the Insurance company where I was taking the car and They would have to send their assessor there. No no argument from them. Job done. Good as Gold.
    Cheers, Billy.
    Keeping it simple is complicated.

    Update

    Hello All,

    I received an unexpected telephone call this afternoon. It was the panel beaters who said that my car was ready to pick up. I was previously told it would be ready at 4:30 pm Friday. This coincided with the time the hire car was booked for too.

    Anyway the hire car was dropped off and I was dropped off at the panel beater. Two doors were replaced and resprayed. Not one door and the other door filled with bog. Emailing the insurer stating my displeasure of getting a second rate repair done must of worked. My car did not have big blobs of filler in any of the panels before the pirate side-swiped my car. Having a door with a kilogram of bog as a repair was not my version of returning the car to the condition it was in before the accident.

    Gee it is so good to have the Commodore wagon back. I can step into it and when I apply the accelerator the car gets up and moves. I can fully stretch out and not have my knees up near my ears.

    The spray finish is excellent; the gaps around the doors are perfect and all the electronics such as remote locks and power windows work well.

    So one happy camper here!

    Kind regards
    Lionel

    Hello Grey Ghost,

    When I bought the Commodore it was road-worthy, registered and reliable. None of my Series vehicles yet match the three previously mentioned criteria.

    Kind regards

    Dad lost an eye when he was 10 and wore a black eye patch for as long as I can remember (he died last month aged 98)

    If anyone called him a pirate, they'd be soon aware that it wasn't a term he liked.

    Will your insurance premiums be affected ? Might be worth enquiring as I've heard they increase at renewal, even when you are not at fault.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."
