As most of you would be aware, my cars smashed (not my fault) now to get the process started i need to get the car quoted on the damage, now here's the problem. The Car is currently garaged and undriveable, and i need someone to quote it onsite. Can ANYONE PLEASE point me in the direction of any shops that are prepared to come and do this so i can actually start to get my car fixed?! It just seems most shops ONLY do insurance jobs (ie no off the street customers) and i'm stuck until i can get these 2 quotes done ..... Anyone? Please!! If anyone can assist i'd be more than happy to help them in whatever way i can .... Cheers Nick.

i'm sure you've already noticed most panel shops are busy as ****, and dont give a **** about your predicament. I'd be taking ollie's advice man, bite the bullet and tow it somewhere...

No body does onsite quote stuff in NSW cause basically like Jay said there way to busy and they dont get paid enough...just speaking from experience. I have no idea about QLD..good luck..youll need it! Raz

Yeah Nick if you take heaps of good quality photo's you might have some luck there. But yeah, most shops only do insurance jobs unless you know somebody there and no shops care about your situation, and sometimes they even try and charge you for a quote. It sucks but its the way they work... just take plenty of pics and explain it to them well and you might have a bit of good luck that way Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
