i had this after someone ran into my 2 year old car, i wouldnt sign for it untill it was 100% perfect..

i wouldnt of bought it after it had been in a accident so would should i keep it with a poor repair.

i paid a local approved body shop manager to write a report out of hours giving his oppinion.

I had similar when my car was repaired. After 2 attempts I wasn't happy with the results from the insurers approved bodyshop.

They had it inspected by a third party can't remember who. They agree with me, took a couple of weeks for insurance company to agree then I booked it in with a local bodyshop who fixed it at the expense of the first bodyshop.

If you are considering changing the car anyway, insist that the bodyshop buy the car from you (at full retail), then you can hit the showrooms with folding money and get BIG discounts. Did you choose the bodyshop, or were you sent there by the insurance company?
