Hey all,

I had a minor accident earlier this week. Basically got hit side on by another car and now I need to get some quotes to fix my baby. Ive been to m & c doyles and provident crash - for my non aami approved quoted. But now I need to get a quote from a aami-approved crash repairer. Does anyone know any they've either been to or recommend to fix imports. Hope it goes my way but if it doesnt I want a good aami-approved repairer. I've got till monday arvo before the assessment.

Any help appreciated,

Nozila

Im assuming you with Just Cars? Under written by AAMI aren't they?

A freidn of mine recently had a prang in his 33 GTR, they refused to let him choose his repairer but he insisted he get a quote from Doyle's off his own back, price ended up coming back better than their own so they went with Doyles.

I know it doesn't answer your question but something to keep in mind when you go to put it in to get repaired.

Doyles will deff take care with it... Your post makes it seem like your not interested in them one bit.

Thats right, underwritten by aami. I have 2 options...

1/take it to their assessment centre and just let me take care of it

2/get two quotes of my own - one being a aami approved repairer and non aami approved

I went with number 2. So Ive already got quotes for who i want to go to (doyles or provident). Now I need a aami approved quote which I hope will be more then the non aami approved quotes. But if it isnt, then I want to find a good one. Does that make sense?

Shop around with quote until you get one that is higher than the Doyle or Provident one.

I know it would be alot os assing around but in the long run your car will be at someone that will take care of your car.

      Fuse taps are perfectly fine to use, especially when you're adding stuff for your own car, and so long as you're being smart about it. IE, don't throw a 30amp circuit, onto a circuit that is only a small circuit. It's best to add a small circuit, to one that is already quite large. Oh, and make sure you're not going to blow the fuses that are further upstream too! I dislike their use in other applications, such as alarms, telematics/tracking devices etc, as it's far too easy for someone to unplug them and render a system useless. Those sorts of devices I go for wiring in quite secretively.

      Given it is temporary, I bought a  cheapy gauge mount (which has become enflattened) which I will screw into the existing phone mount Also a first for me; given this is a temporary install I could not think of any reason not to use one of those "add a fuse" thingies to source the battery and IGN power. I had always figured they were pretty dodgy but having a good look at them I think they are a valid option for sourcing power from an existing source without cutting

      Finally for now, a bit more work on the transmission temp gauge. I was wondering how Raceworks do a gauge for $100 that autometer want $500 for. No idea about the accuracy of course, but they have cut a few corners that made things hard.  First one I mentioned above, the sender is physically difficult to fit and doesn't work with their own adapters (the extra fittings I used to get the sender into a hose cost more than the whole gauge, lucky I had stuff in the shed) Second, the temp sender wires are way too short. They are shown as 2.7m on the box and I know my routing was long from navigator headlight to driver's firewall back to centre console, but I had to lengthen them by about 2m total - 2 joins in each wire. Also, same with the supplied power loom, they needed about an extra 1m to get the fuse box where I sourced power. Another join in each wire since one end wasn't supplied terminated. I know they could argue that the wires might be long enough depending on situation, but when you consider parts and particularly labour, it would be a very expensive cheap gauge if you can't do the work yourself. And, only a small issue....but it would have been nice if they remembered to tap a tread onto *both* spacers they supplied for the bracket....I haven't had to use the M4 tap often!
