f**k me

are they screwing me?!

Well theyre Renault prices. Youre allowed to get a quote for the work from somewhere else if you wish. You dont have to get it repaired at the insurers preffered bodyshop.

Having said that, if youre insurance will cover it then theres no real benefit of trying to get a cheaper quote. Unless you want to repair it out of your own pocket of course.

 

[Turkish]

whereabouts are you in the country fella ?

 

[TomS]

Blimey Tom!

Didnt think it would be that expensive!

Damn!

Get it sorted properly though mate

Tom

You could go down to the scrapper and do part of it yourself and maybe take it elsewhere but your still looking at 1.5k for the bits you cant do.
