ILUVMYGTR Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 In need of a quality smash repairer. As the same with most, i am in love with my car, but it also holds alot of sentimental value, which money cannot replace, so i need someone who can give me peace of mind that they know someone who will look after her! I was recently hit by a massive truck (mack semi, no trailer) he decided to change lanes and hit on the right corner (drivers side) of the rear bar, under the lights. At a quick glance it doesnt look like much, but with the force this guy hit me with the car was thrown into the next lane. Upon inspection i noticed that my rear left wheel is leaning in, and the right wheel looks like it is a bit out of place too. When i drove it, it kinda feels really boat-like, and when driving, while im acccelerating and my foot is on the pedal it feels fine, but when i take it off it feels like its like crab crawling, its strange. and also the hicas is going nutso too! Even though she feels ok, I'm quite hesitant to drive it as this car means everythng to me. Please, can anyone recommend a quality workshop in melbourne? western suburbs if possible. Thanks!

Leewah Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 MiColour in Cheltenham will look after you. Mick isn't back at work until the end of Feb though due to personal reasons but be assured he will look after your car 100%. He won't be the cheapest but I dare say he could quite possibly be the best.

candy33 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 TRANSCAR in (Coolaroo/Cambellfield/Broadmeadows area). I have used many panel shops before but Transcar is the Best panel shop i have been to.. bar none. Their quality and service is second to none.. Their attention to detail is astounding and literally no car will leave their shop doors in unsatisfactory condition. And they also do importing and performance work. Believe me go there and you won't be dissapointed...

ILUVMYGTR Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 MANY THANKS TO ALL SUGGESTIONS - MUCH APPRECIATED GUYS !!!!!!!!!!!!! Primal Garage - West FootscrayAwesome work, awesome prces. Open late and on weekends. 0419 156 142 (Neil) Hey Nick, lol funny I seen the guys at Primal a few days ago - they were, yep, AWESOME !!!!!! After my accident as a starting point I went to another well known workshop down in sunshine, just knowing that I could go in there act all 'um i dont know whats wrong with my car' and this guy would feed me with a bit of info to go off. He tells me that my diff is gone and i need a new one (mind you he only looked at it), just because its leaking, I told the guys at Primal, they just laughed and said the gasket for it costs maybe $40! As the damage from the accident on the body was minimal (only large mark and some cracks on the back bar) the back wheels were crab crawling and the steering was vibrating a bit, I knew there was bad things going on, they checked out my suspension for me, the side that got hit was out by 2, they adjusted it and gave me details for a suspension place. Just shows what genuine people they are. I plan to do a fair bit of work to my baby soon, and they will be the ones i will be handing over my money to.

stolen_s15 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Yeah they are honest guys, which is a nice change in the car game. Also you can see that they know what they are doing by the quality of both their cars, check them out if whe you're in there next. Only thing is that ther workshop is a b!tch to find unless you have someone show you the way. One thing I would suggest is to get your suspension work done by centreline. The quality of cars in that place speaks volumes for their workmanship. Hope the car turns out ok!
