dont trust panel beaters

[PlATiuM]

hows this wont have my cars for weeks still, they said today i could pick it up. wat happens i ring, "oh there just starting to strip it down to paint it now" and they said this mid last week. got dad to ring up just before he rang me back, hows this they ordered all the wrong parts to begin with then had to reorder parts :@

and insurance companys wonder why no one insures there car no more. im not getting insurance next year for $4000 i could of had the car back and on the road by now, but 2.5months later there still finding parts etc its just bulls**T.

meh, depends where u go

when i was looking for panel beaters to get my dings fixed, got quotes from a heap of places, they were all busy and would take at least a month to fit me in

found camerons at coopers plains

got us in the next week

had the car back in 2 days

they were also the cheapest quotes of all the places we went to

very happy with their work

Agree with this one,

they painted my mates pulsar that one best paint at Jambo...good workmanship and no bull (please ignore pedders pun cause I think they are shit...)

Oh and G&J Smash at Kedron are good also, have a had a few mates cars go there...

But you have to remember that 90% of panel beaters these days are the dumbshits that use to get stoned at school...go figure

sniff paint

its hard now to find a good panel beater that knows his work. my dad has a good one but he is in mt isa

yeah.. know the feeling.. when somebody hit my car in melb.. for one guard and a front bar they said "2 weeks at most" .. some 8 weeks later !!! i got it back.. but they did do a very good job so they're slightly excused.

In a way thats almost why i had to get another car. When the r33 is in the shop getting sexified again. I just needed something to get me to the gold coast each day, as who knows how long it will take. You can't be without a car for like weeks.

lol you aint seen nothing

i put my car in about 3 months ago, was told ide get it back in a few weeks.. then a few weeks after that.. then a few weeks after that etc etc

been told to come get it this afternoon.. i hope

its stuffed me around too, i wouldnt mind if i didnt have things to get done before the skyline cruise on the 17th.

owell, shit happens

[predator]

is this this "cruising panel shop" ??

if he is the type that stuffs people around i'll take it elsewhere. As I was thinking of going to him next 2 weeks or so. He sounded good on the phone.

How much work was he doing with your car? was it replacement panels, etc?

i really just need painting and sideskirts fitting.

[knore]

hes good man, just been really busy, theres always heaps of cars there, hes done heaps of skylines/supras etc

for damage repairs he is really cheap too.

I had to get front right control arm replaced, front right quarter, right door and right rear panel resprayed. Bonnet realigned, new headlights installed.. new sideskirts sprayed and fitted and same with front bar.

most of it didnt HAVE to be done, but i did it so it all looks nice
