Has Anyone Used Any Of Just Car Insurance's Recommended List Of Panel Beaters?

[MISS_R34]

If so - any you would recommend or any I should steer clear of? Thanks.

[gtsttrk]

Not sure if it's with JC, but Woods (AAMI recommended, so therefore most likely JC) are shocking!

Botched my car, parentals and two mates! Parents even got their car back from there with a wrong rim fitted. Wasn't even the same style.

You get the option to choose one of theirs or a repairer of your choice.

[MISS_R34]

Hadouken - that's right but I've heard they under quote so they get the job over a repairer we may choose, I don't have any in mind...

Gtsttrk - sorry to hear, thanks I'll remember the name. They usually have a life time guarantee on their work don't they? Have any of you gone back to them?

When the motorbike hit my old evo, the damage wasn't bad but the colour match was a pain so the whole side needed to be painted (ended up being the whole car lol)

however I knew one of the recommended shops so the quote was 'realistic' compared to the normal under quoted insurance quotes.

However I didn't use the repairer though I still used mine

Classic panels lol

Took my car for a thrashing. Car was given back to me with a brand new blown turbo A nice slipping auto trans and turned my steering wheel into a vibrator every time I turned. It was great I got all of this when I only needed a new rear window!!

The service was great he definitely knew how to deny things even after giving him photo evidence in the difference in Kms.. Which means he definitely knew his stuff!

I definitely reccomend them if you like it when someone upgrades your car with the above. Really happy!

I've been to Imperial Finish Body Works in Springvale a few times with Just Car claims. I'm hoping I can take my skyline back to them for this rear end damage from last week.

Murray also did my bonnet respray and has done some other touch up work on other cars for me.

I've always been happy with his work and his service. He's the kind of guy that wants you to keep coming back to him.

What'd you pay for the bonnet respray, Laith?

What'd you pay for the bonnet respray, Laith?

$400.oo, and that included the front quarters for blending and front bar too.

The best way - in their favour

Fark me...he did the front end for $400? I'm going lol.

[MISS_R34]

Thanks Htial - I'll look into them...always a plus when companies go that extra bit for customers.

I'm sure that's right. I've misplaced the receipt because I want to know if I can claim it on tax.

If some of you usual suspects can't keep from trashing workshops and mixing it "into" a nice post - regardless of what your story is - you are going to start getting warnings.

Forum rules are explicitly clear about the issue, and for good reason.

Thanks.

Just let them know I sent you.

Eurostyle Bodymaster in West Melbourne

Sheens Panel on City road, South Melbourne

These were the two shops I went to get a quote from. They are both JustCars recommended repairers. In the end Sheens got the job as their price was 2k cheaper than Eurostyle.

Quite happy with Sheens' work and they were happy to fix up some minor issues.

Haven't used Eurostyle but their workshop is modern and they do mainly luxury European cars.

Yeh my dad used one of the reccomended for the V35, guy hit him from a slip lane and Just car sent the car to Abbotsford Body Repairs (http://www.abbotsfordbodyrepairs.com.au) bit far from us, but we were glad that they sent the car there. Paint was matched perfectly (Factory candy blue pearl) and you cannot even tell that they had repaired the bumper and guard. These guys had a few porsche GT racing cars in there for repairs and an Audi R8, so I think they know what they are doing. They even sent the rim off for balancing and had it repaired, the scratch on it wasnt even noticeable.

I'd agree that most insurance companies under quote.

Yeah the issues were resolved, after a lot of mucking around. However they were all less than impressed.

XL bodyworks (possibly not the name, I'll have to double check) however were fantastic. And they were a recommended repairer.
