The insurance company chose the repairer based on the 3 quotes I did the legwork for. I assumed initially it was a good choice of repairer in that I had some dealings with this panel beater during my employment as a tow truck driver. Obviously though, they were a two faced pile of wank residue.

yeah man thats horrible, I’d at least email the photos through to the insurance company and the “panelbeater”, with a stern email. Never know what could happen.

Yeah, all well and good except I’d rather have nothing to do with those people now. It took several months of battling just to get the rental car companies insurance to pay for a repair, I’m not even going to bother fucking about with it again. Needless to say though, the company that performed the repair has not been receiving any words of encouragement by any and all who ask and some who don’t. They are indeed rust holes along there the result of having a vinyl roof removed by the previous owner who them didn’t do sweet fuck-all about it except for filling the holes with fibre-filler. Lots of work to go.

shit I reckon you should make them do the repair properly again, at least contact the insurance co who dealt with fixing it and say the paint started cracking months afterwards, so you stripped back the paint and found a sub-standard repair job been done.
