The Mazda 2 with $9K damage will have it's roof replaced.

Is this car worth keeping afterwards?

I suppose it depends on how it's performed but have you heard of pros and cons?

Terry, when Shell's car got hit a few years ago; LMSR replaced the entire RHS of the car.

Both doors, B pillar, cant rail, sill panel, rear quarter/C pillar new rhsr strut, hub and rim.

There was nothing on the entire side of the car.

Every panel Bill removed, the straighter the shell became. Set up on their table the shell was perfect.

Rebuilt, they reckoned that it was better than it was brand new.

12 months later; I'd defy anyone to pick the repairs.

More than 6 years down the track we haven't had a single issue with the repairs or even with the way the car wheel aligns.

Done right; it will be perfect.

"Done right" being the key words.....

There's the expectation that you would only be utilising a trusted repairer for a job like this.

I'd no more trust a dodgy panel repairer, than I would a dodgy mechanic with any of my cars.

Over the years I've cultivated a healthy relationship with my repairer, and that's why I had no hesitation with them undertaking such an extensive repair.

Shell was very doubtful that they could repair it completely, so he invited Shell & I down to see the car when it was completely stripped of the damaged structure.

He then hung all the structural members on the shell in front of her to demonstrate how straight the body was.

Picked up Volvo XC60 this arvo.

Undamaged paint: tick

All dents gone: tick

New tailgate light lens: tick

Aluminium mouldings: tick

Rubber momouldings: I rejected a front roof moulding. It has two dents and the edge is lifting. Rephotographed and reported to the insurance company.

Other: Offside blinker didn't work and offside rear parking light didn't work. It was just a detached loom.

At least the most critical parts have been done well; the rest, while a bit disappointing, isn't the end of the world.

Hope the get the finer details sorted quickly Tez.

When does the Mazda go in?
