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?
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
Kevin: so he's got comprehensive insurance right?
Blurr: plus maybe the black plastic trimmings and boot seals
