Default Whats worse than having your car hit in an accident?

Reading peoples opinions on who are going to be fixing your car!

I asked a local car forum their thoughts on the guys who are getting my car tomorrow after someone drove into the side of it and by the sounds of it, it'll come out in worse shape!

The power of the interwebs is great and sometimes overwhelming but least I know that their isn't a hope in hell they are getting my car tomorrow!

Oh i am in a whole world of misery now as I have selected someone else to do the work on my car and although they have sent the estimate off to the insurance company they cannot find it and urging me to use their choice of garage. Apparently if I call back in a few days time they *may* find the estimate by then.

I've heard a few stories about Wrights quality of work.
Having said that I suppose we only ever hear or are told the bad stories.

thats very true but Larne Coachworks have done work on my parents cars including my mums rather tasty full body kitted Capri and they always did great work and they did a full respray on my friends Celica and its still an A1 job 2 years later.

Decided to sling one of these in the engine bay at the same time.

Can you not just drop the car down to your preferred garage, and let them deal with all the paperwork, I'm sure your insurance company will find the estimate quick enough when they start to get charged for daily storage.

Well good news they have approved the work. The estimate just wasnt looked at for a few days cus no one could be bothered to open the email by the sounds of it. So I doubt i'll get the car worked at this week.
