I am fast becoming a Caritable Institution myself. Therefore, charity begins at home.  :laugh:

Well, more good news.
The VW bodyshop will fix the chipped paint and any other surface damage for the new price of £200 inc VAT. Quite a drop from £770 + VAT.
I think I am on a winning streak at last. :shocked:

Same bodyshop you referred me to? They quoted me £770 + VAT as well.

The estimator Don/Dom (you know who I mean :rolleyes:) is a nutter. I told him so today and to try and get real. I explained to them that if he coninues in this vein, they'll be fixing themselves and not cars.  :rolleyes:
I'm surprised he does not estimate in multiples of 666.  :evil:

I'll have a word with them when I see them on Monday regarding your quote.

If you wouldn't mind, that would be kind. The fact that I was referral business also suggested that they might be a little more decent considered how small my complaints actually are.

It's like black magic when they fabricate these prices.  :evil: :evil:

If I do venture out, I'll use the underground or catch a cab!  :smiley:
