I know a good bodyrepair in West Yorkshire - where my car is now if ur looking for a good place ?
let me know buddy
-
I work for the NHS, in an office a little distance away from the main building, park really close to my office. I was last to leave tonight will ask arround tomorrow; had a quick look round for CCTV but not sure if it will have seen, will call security and ask for it to be reviewed. Anyone know a good bodyshop in Lancashire Preston ish and an idea of price?
-
just look at the reflection....
looks like ur on a row of houses...
whats strange to me is that someone walking along/cycling along has done this...
-
OMG that is bad mate, I really hope you catch them!!
-
Sorry to see this, just scum....
Happened to a guy that had came along to his first SVAG meet last week when we were parked up. young lad reversed out the space and hit his car and proceeded to drive of. Without thinking i used my car to block his way from the carpark and he almost hit me! He was driving an old K10 micra so wouldnt have bothered to much about it. He then called daddy.
just crazy!!!
Hope you get if fixed and its a good job.

Rich, the photo is outside my house; didnt have a camera at work, thanks for the bodyshop tip but was hoping to find one a little closer to home.
Willizie - think it would be best if i dont :fighting:
-
Mate that is awful! I really feel for you!
-
Such a sickening feeling! I feel your pain!
-
....
Ferking Hell!! That's sh*tty!
Best thing to do is get it repaired absolutely as soon as you possibly can and then forget it totally and continue enjoying your car.
-
good lord, I feel your pain :sad: good luck with sorting it :happy2:
-
Oh my god that is so awful, how can people do that? It happened to me with a couple of bikes I had - got knocked over and no-one left a note so I know how awful it is... hope you some how find out who did it :fighting:
-
Sorry to see this mate, it has happened to me before, not a nice feeling :sad:
-
Mate, know the feeling.
A few months back, I was walking back to my car. Noticed a red plastic thing stuck my rear wheel. Thought it was some choc bar wrapper or something.
Took a closer look and peeled it off - it was paint! All the layers including the primer. Someone had reversed into me, scratched the car above the arch (which I can't polish out despite painting over it).
Gutting.
The sooner you get it sorted, the less painful it is.
-
You may want to ask JPC if he knows any good bodyshops - he's not that far from preston.
-
sh*t the bed, looks like its going to need some work, any sign of anything moving underneath the car?
Best of luck with getting it sorted matey, Luke
-
Why dont these dishonest scumbags just hold there hand up and accept a bit of pain for there mistakes. Its very annoying lets hope they get there share of sh*ttyness in life hear after. :happy2:
-
absolutely gutted for you matey, i really would be going thru the CCTV with a fine tooth comb.
A good body shop is gaskell motor bodies, there are perfectionist with there paint mate.
they are near blackburn but im sure you;ll agree its worth the travel for a good job
-
Hi guys,
Been to a body shop nr Wigan today reconmendation from a friend, they said about £350 and will take three days, they are busy next they can fit it in 27July. I guess thats a good sign?
JPC - thanks for that its only a few miles away.

why won't my lap top let me see these pics
-
tell the bodyshop you are willing to pay a bit more for a good job. so if it comes back with orange peel, bad paint match or anything like that you can send it straight back to them to do it again.
-
any updates with cctv fella?
-
Sorry to hear about the damage....my worst nightmare, coming back to the car damaged! Hope you find them :fighting:
-
That sucks mate! Hope you get it sorted.
-
i feel your pain. i had someone go into the back of me not so long back. :( lets hope it gets sorted soon :)
-
Thanks for all the comments guys.
V Cherry - Have been chasing the security manager; checked all cameras but nothing, typical. Will be calling into some more bodyshops get some more prices and parking in full view of cctv from now on. :signLOL:
-
i feel for you mate, i cant imagine howd id feel. I hope it all works ok in the end.
With regards to CCTV, if someone hit your car (and knew it) then drove off with out leaving a note etc, could they be prosecuted for leaving the scene? You would have video evidence, with the reg etc...
Dont know why i thought of that really??
-
There are some real scumbags about...really feel your pain too.... :sad:
Here's hoping you get it sorted soon. :happy2:
-
Really feel for you.
Something similar happened to me 3 yrs ago in my Ibia (was a month old with less than 1k on the clock) and I was very fortunate to see the person do it (or see my car go flying) and chased them down.
wanted to open a can of whoop ass on him sadly he was a very big chappy all round - although he wanted to hit me for the pleasure of him driving into my car. :fighting: :fighting:
Hope it gets sorted soon. if their are cameras in the area and secuirty are not much help you can try the police

I'd claim on the insurance and get a quality repair job. You might pay an £100 extra on your premium next year but its not the end of the world. My girlfriend wrote off my second car last year and lost me all my no claims and left me with a claim on my policy. Just renewed with 1 yrs ncb, a claim, 27 years of age with 18" monza's, colour coded, ed30 rear bumper and black vw badge for £660 all in. Mate has had 2 claims for bumps and his policy still went down both times. Insurance is there for a reason and it doesn't mean your premium will rocket.
