Involve In A Car Accident Needs A Few Bits And Pieces


Recommended Posts

Long story short, stupid bitch driving a swift on Lutwyche rd heading outbound on the far right lane couldn't stop in time for the car in-front waiting to turn right, smash her car into the corolla and decided it was cool to hit the gas pedals and turning her steering wheel to the middle lane, side swiping my right rear door, rear quarter, my side skirt, rear arches and wheel in the process, and then bounce off hitting me in the rear.

Right now I'm waiting on the 3 different accessor from different insurance company to quote/access the cars but in the meantime I need to find a few places that could fix/supply HKS Hipermax suspension, Cusco Upper Arms, Cusco camber kits. Any recommendations and/or experience with the said company would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance fellow SAU'ers.

I'm with Just-Car, they told me even-thought I'm not at fault it will still have to be one of there approved repairer to repair the car. I have the option of going to my own repairer but they will no longer give me the agree value of the car and also they will void my life time repair guarantee.

Hey Mikey. Was she insured. If so then wont her insurance company have to approve your repairer?

Thank GOD she had insurance!!! Her insurer(RACQ) does not care which smash repair I go to, as long as "all repairs must deemed necessary". I personally don't know what's that suppose to mean???

Sounds like you're doing far too much dicking around. Call Just Car, give them the woman's details, tell them to contact RACQ and work out between them who is to repair/how it's being repaired. Just make sure you tell them that before any work happens that you have to authorize it.

Stop wasting time on the phone and make them do it.

Maybe I'm doing far too much then I should, but I rather spend a few more hours and dollars to get what is best for my car, then to end up paying a second time to fix the stuff up.

I've given all the details to my insurance company including a police report that goes with it, but at the moment she is denying anything and everything. Her defense is "The car infront of me stop suddenly without reason, therefore I could not stop in time, BUT I try to avoid him by moving into the middle lane which unfortunately hitting both cars in the process.".

Either way thank you all the SAU'er for helping me and giving me assistance in this case.

Mikey what the car in front of her did is not your problem. she needs to sort that out with them. But yeah let your insurance company handle the lot

You don't have to pay if they stuff it up. If Just Cars say it has to be repaired through who they say and don't let you use your repairer, and you're not happy with the work, then it's Just Car's responsibility to get it repaired a second time until it's back in the same condition it was originally in. The only time you'd have to pay more is if the car wound up being in better condition that it originally was. Haven't you ever read your policy?

It doesn't matter how much she denies it. She's at fault pure and simple (failure to leave a safe stopping distance in front of her car, and failing to give way while changing lanes). They have your statement, the other person's statement, and her statement. The insurance company handles it all from here. You don't need to be involved until they tell you where to take your car.

i had to bold it for truth lol

Nice john.

But even if it goes through either insurance companies repairers, arent they guaranteed for life?

Get it done by your insurance company. It's their job to hunt people for cash. =)

Lucky the cops didnt say its your fault because you drive an import. =P

It's only guaranteed for life if it's in the agreed policy from the insurer.

It will be done by his insurance company. Just Car use their repairers, pay the repairers, and RACQ pay Just Car. This is why he needs to stay out of it. The insurance companies handle this stuff every day and don't need people stepping on their dicks and getting in the way.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
