6 Days Later: Involved In An Accident.

[Aegats]

After 6 wonderful days of owing my Stagea already been had a bit of a bingle. Car was hit from the back while I was at a red light. I've got full comprehensive insurance and can so take the car to my choice of repairer.

Any way tossing up between 2 repairers (that I found on the forum). Jack Hillermans in Artarmon OR California smash repairers in Botany. I've done the usual searches but only found 1 reference to the two. Talking to the two they say the same thing, they need to book the car in and get it assessed before they can give me a quote on time (going to be a long time for parts??). Speaking to NRMA they can either choose their own repairer or I can nominate one.

So who to go to? Any suggestions on repairers?

If you dont have your own known and trusted place id go to the insurer's repairer if convenient.

that way any issues have easy and fully ability for recourse.

references through mates 'who say they are awesome' or even on this forum should be treated sceptically at all times if you ask me...

thats bad news, glad youre ok tho!

what sort of damage has the car sustained?

I have a rear tailgate, glass and the lower plastic bit thats attached to the tailgate, if your repairer needs it

I'm going to get the assesor to see what repairer they suggest. I'm trying to get this shit done right. The only thing is that it might take time for the parts required to show up and I really don't want to be car less for too long of a time.

Zei20l thanks for the offer on the parts will keep it in mind. The car was hit on the left hand side so the taillight and bumper bar have taken the hit. When its taken in for assesment then will get a better idea.

Put up a pic of the damage here and in parts. You may source the parts yourself. I did that for a rear ender and supplied the bar which cost me $100 and it saved my $500 excess.

the good thing is he isnt at fault, so insurance will take care of everything.

im just trying to assist with speedy repairs, and something else could potentially be removed from my garage

[Aegats]

Yeah speaking to NRMA and I'm not at fault so won't have any effect on my NCB and I wont have to pay the excess. I'm going to find out if what the process regarding the parts and what I can do.

I've dealt with Jack Hillermans in the past & they were more than helpful..
