Good Price Panel Beaters

[cosmokram3r]

Hey guys, Today my mate's 180 type-x (only bought it 3 weeks ago) was smashed in from the back in peak hour traffic around dande area.. the person that did it pulled over with my mate in the service lane but then sped off and my mate didnt catch the licence place number.. after being pushed he also hit the guy in front of him a bit who said he's gonna make a claim on my mate which i guess seems fair enuff.. anyway he's gone to a few random panel beaters in dande and they've said its gonna cost around $3-4K for repairs but he says it doesnt look like it would be that much (I havent seen it yet).. Anyway does anyone know some good panel beats (preferably in the S.E suburbs) that dont overcharge and do a good job? I was thinking DT Panels as they have good pricing and do great work so yeahh any suggestions for my mate of where he should take it to would be great.

Thanks

Ahhhh yeah forgot about that thread!

I told my mate the address for DT and Imperial to take it down.. my mate is spewing bad only had the car 3 weeks and is so careful he hardly lets it hit boost Gutted that he got smashed by a lady that had the balls to do a hit and run in peak hour traffic with so much people around!

Micolour is the SAU-Vic supported/reccomended repairer (SE also), personally I'd go there as i reckon about 30 members have now over the past 12 months

What might "seem" like nothing, probably is worth 4k to be honest.

Recently my mrs had a small tow-ball hit, one assumes front bar repair/blend spray, $500...

But it has hit the Reo, A/C condenser, piping, Rad support and the list goes on etc etc. 2k or there abouts.

All this from a tiny dint on the outside of the front bar and i tell you now a fair few places would just repair the dint and leave it at that... dodge!

Good and PROPER repairs come at a price, many dodgy places around who just do the quick and dirty fix to make a buck.

Lucky its not too bad bumper is just out of place a bit and paint scratched off.. i dont have insurance so lucky it wasnt my fault lol.. Anyway whats the go with that? Do i just get like 3 quotes from different companies and send it off to her? Sucks to be her tho she bought the car 2 weeks ago

Imperial Finish Body Works told my mate around 4K still waiting on DT Panels.. told my mate whatever is cheaper to go with considering they're both top workshops..

Took mine to a local panel beaters need to re-align the bar and repspray around $700 damage this lady better not stiff me on her insurance!
