so im super ****ty :@

the mechanic said he would get back to me on either thursday or friday.never did. so i called him today, they said he would call me back, ill be surprised if he will.
when i dropped the car off he said that he would contact qbe(insurance company) asap tell them that its unroadworthy to get a second quote and send them a quote so he could start on friday. i actually drove past on friday and the car hasnt been touched, he hasnt even opened the bonnet to have a look.
on friday after i saw he hadnt touched it i rang the insurance company, they rang me back today saying that they havnt heard anything from the mechanic not even telling them that the car is unroadworthy..

so much for having the car back on friday.. after how much bull**** has come out of his mouth i wouldnt be surprised if they turned around and told me it was a write off.

take photos of the car (in front of him) or just get the insurance assessor to come out and assess the damage as my warning bells are ringing on this "mechanic" at least if the insurance assessor checks it out they can't invent more problems then there actually are

yeah the insurance company said that if it is a write off or high amount of damage an assessor will come out. this mechanic was suggested by the insurance company as he normaly does work for them..

JDM323 · 19-09-2011, 07:41 PM

if all else fails check the forum for parts needed from what i can tell the main item is the bonnet, the top of the radiator support is usually easily straightened, the bonnet may need to be carefully pushed down at the crease points so that it can be opened to assess the rest though, pity I'm up in nth qld as we've been through these dramas and we had to fix ours our self as insurance labeled the gazetted signposted gravel road as off-roading

smurfy · 19-09-2011, 07:46 PM

ohh id still be getting it fixed thru insurance, just wantiing to get a carbon fibre bonnet down the track. photos look like its not much damage but from what we can see the radiator and radiator support is damaged, maybe other things aswell. my dads a mechanic and we were just gonna do it ourselfs then he had a peak thru the dent in the bonnet and was like stuff that!
