Panel beater help?

[kevindinho]

Hey there!

My cousin the noob reversed his car into a pole yesterday and i was wondering if anyone here knows of a good, honest place where he can get some repairs done.

Thanks for your help
Kev

I know some in Brookvale where I used to work, but they might be a little out of your way?

Bugger Kevin not insured?

If I had to pay for that I'd be getting at least 5 quotes....... I once had to get a few quotes on a panel repair (my friends mum reversed into my car) the quotes varied from $330 to $690!!!!!

Fark me dead, how fast was he going in reverse

I'll be looking for a Panel Beater too, some lovely person gave me a present for Christmas ... A front right quarter panel scraped up and dinged because they don't know how to drive! and it was a Chris Cringle gift! .... Anonymous with no one claiming responsibility! happened on the road outside my house
Now because someone is a Shit driver I need to make an insurance claim and pay an excess

[kevindinho]

He thought he had it in drive and because he was on a slope he gave it a bit....so the damage magnified, god his a noob.. sigh

classic Kev, nothing like learning the hard way

[Blurr]

shit. that wont be cheap they dont repair panels that look like that these days

New bumper
New boot
New new boot well
New chrome trimming
probably new lock and latch

It's always easy to say someone else is learning the hard way

Kevin: so he's got comprehensive insurance right?

Blurr: plus maybe the black plastic trimmings and boot seals

[kevindinho]

tim- no comprehensive mate just third party, his a red p-plater and thought it was not worth it

damn that is a long list blurr, what do you guys think the bill would be? $1000? $2000? his gonna be pissed!

[Blurr]

lol keep going. Probably close to double that

[tim]

I'd be thinking 3-4k easily Kevin

[Sulli]

There's close to $2000 in parts (new) badges,trims,(possible boot hinges) beaver panel, boot panel,bumper reinforcement, bumper cover, repair boot floor then labour and paint if it has a tow bar possibly further damage bit hard to tell from the pic I work in spare parts but wrong company

[kevindinho]

WOW 3k-4K he should have just bought comprehensive, i've seen the way he drives its probably best if he did.
