Please help guys,

Cheers.

D&T Panel in Osborne Park are good and as far as I am aware a Just Cars preferred panel beater.

They are shithouse, had work done late last year, minor front end damage on my R32 GTR.

Left me with a f**ked battery at pickup @ 5pm.

They didn't replace the damaged reobar as quoted (hammered it back and redrilled mounting holes).

Overspray galore.

They took 3 months to put in their paperwork so I could get a payout to replace my damaged intercooler myself, 2 months of which they lied and said it had been submitted.

Oh yes ended up being a two month wait to get it in, and then two and a bit weeks for the work to be done, something that should of been a couple of days work.

DO NOT RECOMMEND

I would fight JustCars as much as possible to get your own preferred repairer. They have all the cheap and nasty repairers listed. For minor front end damage to my skyline I was forced to go to one of their repairers. A job that was quite simple turned into a nightmare. I had to source the parts myself as the repairer had no idea, the paint was a joke, you could actually see drips of paint on the bumper and I had to chase the job the entire time. The repair took 6 months from start to finish when it should've taken 1-2 weeks of repair time plus a bit of time for parts to arrive max!

Bert Bennett are f**king amazing. my car is there right now, 2nd time.

washed, polished, vacuumed, and detailed my car without even asking, was only a small rear bumper job...

one look at their car park and workshop i was sold.

That sucks man, really sorry to hear that.

Perhaps it's the fact that I work in the "industry" here in Osborne park and that I know a couple of the people there but all of my dealings with D&Ts has been very good.

I had a black R34 GT-T which was hit in the front by a Holden Commonwhore and the work was great, I imagine not the easiest car/colour to work with.

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs
    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
