A few weeks ago my car was scratched all over...yes every panel apart from the roof. Second time its happened in three years...I mean if the person was so hard surely he would front me and have a face to face but in this day and age we are living in a country of cowards who use guns and hide behind hooded tops.
.As well as my alarm syatem, I have now installed a top of the range ctvc system around the around the house and surrounding land . ..anyway thing is I had a call from the gargage / repairer today. Conversation went like " The scratch on the bonnet sir... you do know you have stone chips at the front of the bonnet and if we spary the bonnet it may make the stone chips more noticeable...If you give us a hundred ponds to sand down / fill the stone chips it would be a much better job. You see if we spray it without doing the sanding down etc we may make the sone chips look worse " .
Now I have thought about this ...and I am thinking why am I going to give you a hundred pounds ???? ..iInstaed you [ the garage ] repair the scratch but dont give me the car back if it is going to look worse than when it first came in. Infact, if necessary, dont spray the stone chips, just make sure you repair the car to its previous condition.
Now this is a reputable body shop. My insurance is Direct Line , again a reputable company....Anyone think the body shop is trying to relieve me of a £100 for their christmas party ?
