Does it matter if they are paying? My car is at the garage now, i'm hoping someone steals it.

ask to go see the damage etc,either way make sure they have informed the police about it,if they havent then i would start thinking i can smell a bit of salmon ;)

I've heard of worse happen at a bodyshop - an old guy near me was having his VW transporter converted so that he could drive his disabled wife around (she was in a wheelchair) and that got robbed. He was gutted bless him. They're apparently worth a fair bit.

If they're paying then look on the bright side - you're getting a new set of wheels and tyres ;)

ur lucky my friends car was at a bodyshop and they left his car outside and it was stolen and burnt out a few miles away.

insurance company wouldnt pay out because they were paying for it to be repaired when it was stolen.

they thought someone was pulling a fast one but my mate was about 6k down and nothing to show for it :(

i would go down and have a look at your car .
 
Car left outside the bodyshop?

My usual bodyshop houses 3x British GT Porsches and various restoration classics in a secure covered lockup, I wonder if they'd still go for my wheels LOL
 
New set of alloys and brand new tyres, i'd be quite pleased with that aslong as my car wasn't damaged suprised they didn't tell you to claim it off ur insurance.

garage's insurance should have paid out for the car, heard of this happening before when i dealt with liability insurance under motor traders policies and there is a valid claim against garage as car was in their custody
