Not sure if it's with JC, but Woods (AAMI recommended, so therefore most likely JC) are shocking!

Botched my car, parentals and two mates! Parents even got their car back from there with a wrong rim fitted. Wasn't even the same style.

Hadouken - that's right but I've heard they under quote so they get the job over a repairer we may choose, I don't have any in mind...

Gtsttrk - sorry to hear, thanks I'll remember the name. They usually have a life time guarantee on their work don't they? Have any of you gone back to them?

When the motorbike hit my old evo, the damage wasn't bad but the colour match was a pain so the whole side needed to be painted (ended up being the whole car lol)

however I knew one of the recommended shops so the quote was 'realistic' compared to the normal under quoted insurance quotes.

However I didn't use the repairer though I still used mine

Classic panels lol

Took my car for a thrashing. Car was given back to me with a brand new blown turbo A nice slipping auto trans and turned my steering wheel into a vibrator every time I turned. It was great I got all of this when I only needed a new rear window!!

The service was great he definitely knew how to deny things even after giving him photo evidence in the difference in Kms.. Which means he definitely knew his stuff!

I definitely reccomend them if you like it when someone upgrades your car with the above. Really happy!

I've been to Imperial Finish Body Works in Springvale a few times with Just Car claims. I'm hoping I can take my skyline back to them for this rear end damage from last week.

Murray also did my bonnet respray and has done some other touch up work on other cars for me.

I've always been happy with his work and his service. He's the kind of guy that wants you to keep coming back to him.

Fark me...he did the front end for $400? I'm going lol.

I'm sure that's right. I've misplaced the receipt because I want to know if I can claim it on tax.

If some of you usual suspects can't keep from trashing workshops and mixing it "into" a nice post - regardless of what your story is - you are going to start getting warnings.

Forum rules are explicitly clear about the issue, and for good reason.

Thanks.

Eurostyle Bodymaster in West Melbourne

Sheens Panel on City road, South Melbourne

These were the two shops I went to get a quote from. They are both JustCars recommended repairers. In the end Sheens got the job as their price was 2k cheaper than Eurostyle.

Quite happy with Sheens' work and they were happy to fix up some minor issues.

Haven't used Eurostyle but their workshop is modern and they do mainly luxury European cars.

Yeh my dad used one of the reccomended for the V35, guy hit him from a slip lane and Just car sent the car to Abbotsford Body Repairs (http://www.abbotsfordbodyrepairs.com.au) bit far from us, but we were glad that they sent the car there. Paint was matched perfectly (Factory candy blue pearl) and you cannot even tell that they had repaired the bumper and guard. These guys had a few porsche GT racing cars in there for repairs and an Audi R8, so I think they know what they are doing. They even sent the rim off for balancing and had it repaired, the scratch on it wasnt even noticeable.

I'd agree that most insurance companies under quote.

Yeah the issues were resolved, after a lot of mucking around. However they were all less than impressed.

XL bodyworks (possibly not the name, I'll have to double check) however were fantastic. And they were a recommended repairer.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Ha ha, yeah, I've had one following me around in my parts boxes since about 2007 I believe. Just a little iddy bit hole drilled in the one I have to let it vent out once pressure was removed from the engine side. Still no idea what I'd put it on, ha ha.

      Anybody affected by the M1 minefield this morning?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just read this... Just a little bit of a wild one! Do you think the driver was testing out a new feature/device for how to lose the cops in a high speed chase?   I also suspect, if the box has a road sweeper that does magnetic metal pick up, he does a LOT of work in the machining industry. Which is what most of that looked like, machining chips from a mill or lathe. And I bet they're RAZOR sharp! And from an environmental perspective they really do need to actually collect all of those little pieces too. I wonder how many people still cop flat tires over the coming months on that road?   As for insurance company, yeah, it'd be interesting to hear what they say to the owner. But realistically, he's right, that "It's his fault". In the way that, it was his truck that spilled it, so they need to clean it up. However, neither he, nor his insurance company may bear the end cost if they do an investigation and find out it was caused by someone elses negligence (And they know who)...

      Yeah, no matter what bad things people can say about Julian from Autospeed, he at least was capable of thinking and his inclusion of a check/relief valve in the plumbing for the Audi boost controller, that I made a copy of and used for years**, completely eradicated that problem. **It's still lying on my workbench where I put it about, um, 18 years ago and have never found a home for it!

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I didn't actually know this! I've seen photos of the H1, mainly outside shots, and they just look "different". I guess there'd be a few little changes like nicer rims, and probably the fact they have nicer looking paint with some depth and shine, which will make any vehicles body look different to the very flat colours of the defence force.   I've watched the guys on GHPC convert their Humvee to LS1, and they've done some really nice front shock upgrade. I'm waiting for the next video on it with the rear end done. I can't remember if they've already done it, or I dreamed it, but I believe they're also supercharging theres. They will be in the future doing proper long travel suspension too.   If you ditch out your big V8, as rubbish as it must be, send it to my place. I'll let the unreliable V8 motor and box be here. I just like V8s... So I'll find something to do with it... Even if that something is just taking up valuable space in the yard. I might have something Skyline I can send back in payment... Or even Ford Barra motors  (From memory you're in Canada yeah?) So you can then play with the legendary Aussie 4L version of an RB...  Except they don't have that distinctive random miss at idle like the RB25 does.

      Or you mean the age old problem of early 2000's manual boost tees, where they never let the pressure out of the line between the boost tee, and the waste gate, so after your first trip on boost, the damn wastegate liked to stay open and be laggy on gear change?
