[Matty 31]

[Mr.Massive]

council will most likly knock you back by saying sorry for what happened but theyll never admit their wrongs. bad luck mate still try..

[Tommmo]

my mate who lives in the area said the road was closed for most of yesterday, so I wouldn't be surprised if its all fixed now!

that sucks!

how much did it cost to fix?

I was told mine are fixable, but at $200-$300 per wheel plus a wheel alignment! i'm not happy!

I'm not paying for someones negligence!

was something like $160ish for the wheel, same buckle as yours maybe bit deeper, was a 3 piece wheel but they fixed it alright

that wheel repair place on south road

i couldn't be bothered getting the council to pay for it, i don't have the time for the excuses they would try to throw at me, i just fixed it.

unless you were over the speed limit posted in the area (either permanent or temporary signs), I wouldn't just drop it, I'd go after them on principle

I'll definately be pursuing..

but what happens if they reject my claim? (as i'm certain they will!)

who would I go see then?

[SLED]

write your own letter of demand to whoever is overseeing the project and attach 2 separate quotes for repairs then give them 14 - 21 days to respond.......next step is magistrate court, small fee that you can add to the quote and recoup later. If it does get to see court time, it'll be in a small claims section where no lawyers are necessary.......just keep an accurate log of events and times so you don't sound like a dribbling mess in front of a usually very impatient judge.....can't see why he wouldn't see it in your favour.

[Tommmo]

thanks for all the info, i'll let you know how it works out.

i went down that road yesterday and didnt see any signs

didnt even realise that was the street until saw 3 massive dugouts in the road

lucky i was going the other way

but definately enough to do damage to any import.....unless your like my car on regency spec.....like a 4WD prado or something lol
