getting car back today

[nobblebonce]

as above (hopefully) been in the repair shop for just over 2 weeks
now do i check the car when delivered and make sure everything is up to scratch - if i notice something after i have had the car back for a hour or something can i ring the insurance company and tell them im not happy or do i have to inspect it right away

 

[Timmay]

id inspect it right away to be honest - make sure everythings okay

 

[nobblebonce]

Highway are f**king useless.

 

[nobblebonce]

too right - makes you wonder why you pay insurance

 

[TheCake]

Yup. sure does pal. What did the car go in for?

 

[nobblebonce]

someone hit me from behind so needed new bumper and tailgate etc

 

[TheCake]

Ahhh in which case, check the paint very carefully to make sure its the right colour so only do it in good day light, outside. Check the panel alignment so open and close the tailgate a good few times.

Also ensure all the wiring is ok, so rear wash wipe, lights, locks etc, make sure the exhaust is all aligned and not damaged.

Then for the rest of the car, check the condition, espeically interior as they are notorious for not cleaning them and bodyshops can be disgustingly filthy places.

Anything that wasn't there before you booked the car in get rectified.

i need to check the exhaust very closly as it was custom made it im not happy with it will they take it to where i had it done (its only a powerflow but its not yhe point lol)
