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

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

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!!!!!

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

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

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

Kevin: so he's got comprehensive insurance right? :oops:

Blurr: plus maybe the black plastic trimmings and boot seals

Re: Panel beater help?

I'd be thinking 3-4k easily Kevin :oops:

Re: Panel beater help?

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 :lol:
