my gf's 2yr old swift got quoted 6k repairs and its only 15k value

My car is over $50k, so it must be worth it for them.....

Daniel thanks for that, no damage to my cars.

Paul evenw ith that damage it is usually worth it,

last time I had a car written off apparently the deciding factor was 75% of car value, so in your case they will spend up to 11K to fix.

My R33 GTR also got hit by the hail and was worried that the car would be writen off due to roof damage the bonnet is really bad so I thought it would need to be replaced after going to a pannel beater for my my insurance (just cars) they said they could fix it also using the paint dent removal

Just been through the entire process with Just Cars, for two cars.

What a pleasure to deal with. Took the cars to the assessment centre on Hood Street, Airport West, they deemed them both as total loss write offs.

Assuming I get my money on time, I have no complaints.

I got stuck in it driving on the tulla at the calder merge in the wife's Dualis. Her car goes in Feb 13th for repairs. RACV and they were really quick about it. It's her second brand new car that has been hit with hail damage! She was hoping for a write off as new for old but they are repairing with paintless dent removal mob from QLD that RACV got down here especially for this.

Heard back from the panel beater yesterday have to wait till the 5th of march to get the GTR repaired :(

Far thats a long wait, My hondas got hail damaged now i stripted it on its rolling shell and then i get a yellow sticker from the council for putting the car on the front of my house? on its shell stript asking me to move it within 3 days or it will be impounded/towed away, but what if i remove the wheels and leave it on bare metal will they still take it away? they dont know its my shell so ye but its at the front of my house on the grass

if it's on your front lawn they can't touch it. if it's on the nature strip between the footpath and the road, it's council land and they can take it.

Its on my front lawn now, so they can't touch it, Its going scrap soon just gotta get a few panels off.

We noticed some hail dints on my partners car last weekend, we took it in & it'sgot 350+ dents on it.

I took mine in today & I have 60 on the roof, 3 on the bonnet & the same on the boot & some on the quarters.

They quoted $1667.50 to do it, but my excess is a grand. Shannon's said they're not penalising drivers for claiming.

Now I have to pull a grand out of my arse to fix something you can barely see. Meh.

That's not bad for ~70 dents, where'd you take it to get that quote?

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
