ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 11d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 25/01/10 06:50 AM Share Posted 25/01/10 06:50 AM I would be demending they deliver the car to you as a minimum.You can also complain to the insurance company as this may affect the work they get.Believe it or not you are not their client, but the insurance companies.Either way, it is unexcusable what they have done and will need to make good the situation.When they arrive back at work on Wednesday, tell them to pay to have the car delivered to you clean and fixed.I bet the car is not ready anyway, I have had this problem with my local panel beater. I tyold him to not make promises he know he cannot live up to.The Territory was meant to be 3 weeks and ended up being 6. They have now taken a week longer to fix one of my staffs Honda.

The worst they can say is NO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HiPSI the pannel beater is <removed> This might sound uptight but I rather not have the car delivered to me becuase of the work I just finished on it (atomic upgrade) and don't trust any one driving it that I don't know....I'm a bit anal about that...lol I even recorded the odo before I left. I'm not really the kind of person to make a fuss of anything but I will be having some kind of words with them. The particular repairer was a recomended repairer by a friend but isn't actually a repairer recomended by my insurance company... maybe this was my first mistake but where I live the prefered repaired is nothing short of complete crap. Hence why I have no faith in any of their repairers. I do have to pay these people excess and I have it in cash so I'm thinking I might only give them a portion of it... I never thought of ringing my insurance company about this, I guess I will see what happens tomorrow... It sucks not having my ute on Australia day lol Hope you all had a good one!Cameron Edited 26/01/10 12:58 PM by Dagabond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
