Hail Damage

[Birds]

Full comp ain't a guarantee of happy times in this scenario. Many excesses are about the same cost as the repairs and the repairs aren't quite enough to write off the car

[crack]

I'm in Perth at the moment. Was there any damage in the Knox area?

Well i live in Glen Iris and no hail here, so i doubt it hit Kew.

Watch out with some insurance companies. My wife's car got damaged in the last big storm and had rating 1 full comp. They repaired the car and then dropped her to rating 3 and increased her yearly premium by more than 60%. We changed companies and got rating 1 and ended up saving almost $200 a year compared to previous rating 1 policy anyway. Win for us.

^ wtf? how does that work? an 'act of god or nature' or whatever, and she loses ratings and premium goes up?? how has she suddenly become a riskier driver as isn't that what the rating/premium change is ultimately suggesting (probabilities etc?)

if people are looking for a dent person, Mr Dent (Vince) does fantastic work. Originally recommended to me by Damian @ Final Inspection. If you google it, you'll find his number (no website)

dodgy assholes... insurance companies are just greedy f**ks who want to drain people's money. talk about trying to recover their losses. excellent work changing companies should have faxed them a note with their letter of increase telling them to shove it up their ass.

mines not that bad, but some good dints on bonnet and roof and boot

havent checked the doors in detail yet

about to call justcars to start the process

in no hurry

full comp

[paulr33]

45 minutes on hold and answered

covered by full comp

no need to shop around for quotes, they have setup an assessment place which will call me before the end of the week

ill take the car there, they will check it and decide wether to proceed with quotes/pricing or write it off (usually its the other way around)

he said the roof is the main concern if it has lots of deep dints, they have to take the roof off, which becomes an economical write off

so early stages

but very positive outcome from just car insurance

very helpful, quick to help

no blah blah your not covered rubbish

excess is 1k

[paulr33]

sounds worse than it is

141 dints

[emts]

anyone know if williamstown got hit??

[perzn_34]

if anyones car is a write off i wouldn't mind buying their car of the insurance company and i can give u some cash as well a daily skyline would be nice hehe

[SS8_Gohan]

as for williamstown, there was hail but like pea sized hail. Had some family there during the storms and they were caught out but i had a good look over the cars and didn't see anything, so williamstown would be ok i would think. no big hail

[paulr33]

car goes in 9th of feb to be checked

[JZP]

My 2 month old car just got checked by RACV today.

The whole car is covered with dents.

They reckon it can all be fixed using paintless dent removal.

[paulr33]

im sure it can, but at what cost?

my gf's 2yr old swift got quoted 6k repairs and its only 15k value
