CLR7 Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 http://forums.sidc.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=127016 Posted up a few weeks ago and there claiming it is a total? No way is that a total and looks like i may have a fight on my hands... I need some advice please on what i should do?
stinger Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 i'm not really sure but worse case you can buy back and get it fixed yourself. I would also check your policy inside and out just to see if theres leeway for bargaining.
Scoobtastic Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 have you taken it to a few independants to get 2nd/3rd opinion,got some bodywork chaps in torbay if you want to try them??
pezza_no1 Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Definately fight that one. A few years ago a mate of mine crashed his scooby and it was only body work but they tried to write it off. They tried their hardest to say nearly every panel wanted replacing even if it was only a scratch. He complained to the insurance company and told them he did not want that garage to be involved anymore and they swapped it for him and suprise suprise the 2nd garage fixed it no issues.
CLR7 Posted February 9, 2009 Author Posted February 9, 2009 Ive told them i'm not excepting it and am going to get second opinions, but any people you know of, if all fails would be nice. Thanks.

CLR7 Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) Just an update I went and picked up the car this morning and could not believe what they were trying to write it off over, it is basically a small kink the size of a 20p on the chassis that you could basically straighten with a hammer, yet they were claiming they had to drop the engine out to fix it... Well the guy at the other garage just looked at me and said what the F**k are they on about, so it's now in his hands and have been told not to worry as he will sort it...... We'll see...
