Please help guys,

i know you will :)

Cheers.

D&T Panel in Osborne Park are good and as far as I am aware a Just Cars preferred panel beater.

They are shithouse, had work done late last year, minor front end damage on my R32 GTR.

Left me with a f**ked battery at pickup @ 5pm.

They didn't replace the damaged reobar as quoted (hammered it back and redrilled mounting holes).

Overspray galore.

They took 3 months to put in their paperwork so I could get a payout to replace my damaged intercooler myself, 2 months of which they lied and said it had been submitted.

Oh yes ended up being a two month wait to get it in, and then two and a bit weeks for the work to be done, something that should of been a couple of days work.

DO NOT RECOMMEND

I would fight JustCars as much as possible to get your own preferred repairer. They have all the cheap and nasty repairers listed. For minor front end damage to my skyline I was forced to go to one of their repairers. A job that was quite simple turned into a nightmare. I had to source the parts myself as the repairer had no idea, the paint was a joke, you could actually see drips of paint on the bumper and I had to chase the job the entire time. The repair took 6 months from start to finish when it should've taken 1-2 weeks of repair time plus a bit of time for parts to arrive max!

Bert Bennett are f**king amazing. my car is there right now, 2nd time.

washed, polished, vacuumed, and detailed my car without even asking, was only a small rear bumper job...

one look at their car park and workshop i was sold.

That sucks man, really sorry to hear that.

Perhaps it's the fact that I work in the "industry" here in Osborne park and that I know a couple of the people there but all of my dealings with D&Ts has been very good.

I had a black R34 GT-T which was hit in the front by a Holden Commonwhore and the work was great, I imagine not the easiest car/colour to work with.

    • I steam cleaned my near new set of volk gtc wheels 14 years ago and farrkkked them lol. The clear coat cracked like spider webbing in several areas. Lesson learnt don't do that. 😭
    • If you don't touch the CAS, then you're fine.
    • Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.
    • I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.
    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.
