My Car Is Back With Toyota

looks like it needs a new quarter panel :(

Aye its all but the Front Wing, but i think they may be replacing that to make it easier to blend the paint.

ooh, thats bad luck... i feel for ya.

i crashed mine in feb, had to have drivers wing, headlight, bumper, bonnet repaired, wing mirror.... i used the repair garage adrian flux / royal sun alliance recomended.... what a nightmare.... only just got it back , they kept making a bodge up of repair.... :ffs:

take it to toyota to get it fixed.... i wish i did....

ta bert.

Aye I am trying to. The only problem is that if you use their recommended garage, it gets done alot quicker. They don't assess the damage, they just go on the garages word. So the assessor is visiting next week.

I expect it will be June when it actually goes in to get fixed.

My friend crashed her fabia vrs, had it fixed at a ford garage. Now problems are showing up in another wise mint car, and her insurance company won't let her take it to the skoda garage to get it checked over.

If the claim goes my way, i reckon i'll treat myself to a new suspension setup or trd clutch kit.

yes, thats what i got told. its just blag to get you there... truth of it is, they never started work on my car for 3 weeks, never even looked at it, just sat in there yard :ffs: .... if id took it to toyota, a week to get it booked in, then 5 days until it would be assesed... then work would of been started straight away using genuine parts...

the only reason i took it to approved repairer was on the assumption it would be back alot quicker, i never saw my car or heard off them for 5 weeks... :censor: then it went straight back for another 6 weeks to have the panels aligned correctly.... the approved repairer will do the minimum work to keep prices down thus keeping thier contract with insurance company. they prefere to repair things rather than replace them too.

good luck
