(got p-door,bumper & slam panel for £80) He has valued mine at £5.5k and given the bodyshop £4750 !! NOT A WRITE OFF rear quarter and lower boot panel still available,as it was booked in for a windows out respray (this weekend)its going to cost me a lot less for the respray !!

poll250 0 Posted September 27, 2011 Great to hear this, what a relief it must be. Who are you insured with btw? Is it your insurance sorting or the person who hit you? (just wondering as it's a pretty damn quick turnaround!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 9 Posted September 27, 2011 Great news. Another saved. Bravo ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 5 Posted September 27, 2011 I'm insured with Greenlight, but on the advice of my bodyshop guy, I rang a company called Qdos,they are a governing body who oversee the insurers ! They guarantee I get 90-95% of the value of the car,and the right to buy it back ! And being as old as it is they understand old second hand parts can be used ! I informed my insurers first,then rang Qdos,2hrs later a hirecar was delivered,that afternoon my bodyshop guy was out giving e a quote, a week later,cars in sorted ! All going through the womans insurance,she admitted liability to the Police,I had written confirmation from her insurers 2 days later ! My insurance hasn't done a thing ! All done by Qdos,and no it doesn't cost a thing to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
