Autorestore

stelad · 5th December 2008, 18:26

I was less than pleased with myself yesterday when I slipped and put my back out whilst digging my 75 out of the snow and was even less pleased when the ambulance that came to see me slid into my car!.Anyway to cut a long story short the paramedics' insurance has offered to send a company called Autorestore out to fix it.The damage is'nt that bad just a scratched rear wheel arch.
Can anyone out there recommend them before I let them loose on my pride and joy.

No personal experience but they look like a proper professional setup. A subsidiary of Autoglass.

There is a certain irony there - but hope you get it sorted without too much hassle.

It's ok the irony of it all was'nt lost on me!.To make you smile more the medic said "What a nice car" & "it could have been worse" His attempts at making me feel better pushed my blood pressure to dangerous levels!.

Steven, you were obviously walking and shovelling far too quickly for the prevailing conditions.

Just looked at their site. For the private individual they will give you a quote for #50 which they will deduct from the bill should you proceed. No indication of costs so they could quote sky high and you end up #50 down

This is very common now........a friend of mine does it for his restoration business, as he spent more time driving around and typing up quotes then he did working.
