oobster Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Always used Stevie Walker in Bathate (been going to him for 19 years!) - his work is top class. 01506 633471. Does a lot of work for Audi, he always has nice cars in there - VX220, Elise etc. I know Gus The Bus has used him in the past too and there is a white classic in there at the moment getting some major mods done to it (it belongs to another SIDC member). If you tell him Andy with the red WRX recommended him I might get a fiver off next time i'm in!

kennyuk300 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Posted February 2, 2009 thanks for all the replies guys got a call from the insurance today said i could go to any one for a quote but the claim would not get processed until the got the quote an it was ok by them so i said to go with there approved company as i want things to get done right away but she could not tell me who they are untill someone comes out to asess the car damage iwould like to think it would be someone reputable just wondering if i could pay the difference to the garage to get a full spray that way it would be a perfect match all round once again thanks for the replies

I have just had the same issue with my wifes car which I had a little bump in on Fri - made the mistake of saying when a got it home " its ok at least it wasnt my Impreza" The insurer RAC wanted it into their own repairer I said no and told them where I wanted it. In the end they said they couldnt give us a courtesy car and I would need to wait until the engineer had been out to my chosen garage to ok the work. But the garage has already given us a courtesy car and after a lot of argueing have had the courtesy car added to my wifes insurance free of charge. My advice is decide where your car will be fixed to YOUR satisfaction and demand it goes there better to wait a week to have it done right than have weeks of hassle trying to get things put right later that are not correct. The wifes brother put his year old Vectra into an approved repairer last year, cant remember the company but it was near springburn. I went back with him with a list of faults that ran to 2 A4 pages. The standard of work was a joke. It took nearly 3 weeks and an independant assessment to get things done correctly
