Well a whole month after my car was hit by some w4nker in a car park.. today it goes in for repair. I think I am looking at a whole 2 weeks without my car :cry: :cry:
Anyone had any experience with VW Huddersfield for bodywork??
Also not really looking forward to driving a Ka or whatever crap they give me (enterprise rentals that is). Have tried to get them to give me something bigger but I seem to be facing an uphill battle as they (enterprise) want the liable persons details, something that I dont have after giving them to my insurance company. Seems a bit silly how they wont call my insurance and ask for them.. ??? This seems the only way for them to give me a bigger car :undecided:
-
unlucky! bet you miss it! :sad:
what happened to like for like? last time my car went in i had a golf plus! 1.4d or something stupid :rolleyes:

All I can say is that for your sake I hope all the buggers you have beaten in that .:R are not on the road today :evil: :laugh: :grin:
**And I hope you get her back like new**

Good point :huh:
Not sure about the like for like. Im with direct line and they just contact enterprise who then contact you to arrange a car. Unfortunately after speaking with them they have only been authorised to provide 'A' category wheels. Surely if the other party is paying then.. should I not be rolling in a Phanton of something similar??? (or a golf atleast??)

I have no idea. Just keep begging. :laugh:

If the tw@t who hit you is also with DL, then ickkle car is all you'll get. If they were insured by another, then that is different - though you can't have say an RS4 - as that is classed as "betterment", and aint allowed in the UK.
Hope you get it all sorted right though. :smiley:

Still waiting for mine to get sorted.
When the wife's 25th Anni had some minor repair work (non fault) I got a GT TDI 140 DSG as a 'equivilent', wonder if they will give me another GTI ... yeh right! Bet I get the same.

It went in this morning.. brought a tear to my eye leaving it all alone with all the other injured VW.. some which looked alot more porely than mine :huh:
Got given a fiesta 1.6 diesel which is total cack!!! It doesnt move at all.. but what do you expect???
It seems to like going in straight lines only... nearly stacked it on the first corner I came to :lipsrsealed: :shocked:
-
:shocked: 1.6 fiesta diesel any body else and it wouldn't be funny.

Im sure they will look after it R32uk, just imagine, at lunchtime in the Bodyshop, all the mechanics sat on or around your car, admiring it, a couple sat on the bonnet munching their Sandwiches, popping open a lovelly cold can of coke and then placing it by their side on the roof of the car :smiley:, doors open letting the fresh air in (along with all the Filler dust and overspray with it). oh and the Heads or tails, who gets to blip it round the block before the owner collects it!
Honestly mate, dont worry, its just Metal, sleep well :evil: :evil:
-
When do you get the .:R back??
Gutting dropping to a slower car :cry:
-
Cheers Phil!! I will certainly sleep easy now :cry: (i know your secretly happy.. it just means there is one less car on the road that can show your Ed30 up :grin:)
Took a few pictures before hand in so I know the mileage.. the place is huge so they look like they have about 100 cars to get through so no drinking coffee on mine hopefully. Ordered parts should be in tomorrow.. fixed by next Friday but im not holding my breath.

Huh. Sure it aint a Chevrolet, rather than a Caddie? They'll prolly take the p!ss and give you a Matiz! :evil:

tbh I dont dare look at the car as I walk away... i think someone might see me looking, and think that I am actually admiring it. So I have not looked at the badge on the front or the back. Just this little clock on the dashboard which reads "Cadillac". So thats what I am assuming for now....
.. Until its safe to look out of the window and see if I can make out any clues :huh:

I wonder what the fella who bumped your car thought when he saw the repair cost to yours. Didn't he offer you a few quid to fix it. :smiley:

Now then,
I took my gti into Vw Huddersfield after some gloit ramming me on purpose in 2006, he did £1200 of damage, wrecken the monza rear and made a total mess really!
Anyway I had a similar thing with the courtest car as was give a VW fox for a week!! Joy!!
They did a really bad job of the rear bumper as they heated back into shape instead of replacing it, which a month later hadnt maintained its shape, but they replaced the alloy and the paint owrk was sweet so you should be fine.
Maybe some of the sales team may help out in the body shop as its not as if people are gonna be coming in to buy cars lol :smiley:
Cant understand why no vw courtesy car with r alex on the side, surely free adverts, enterprise must be paying them a right whack
