Hey peeps, im getting my BF fixed through insurance ATM (curb incident) and I have the option of choice of repairer and I need some suggestions. I live in Perth Western Australia by the way. Anyone know of any or have any advice in this situation ( Im thinking that the insurance company SGIO, will just choose a cheep, dodgy repairer), Cheers!

If SGIO have the life time warrenty (RACV does) then they will not pick a cheap and nasty repairer, otherwise it will cost them more.

Joondalup Smash Repairers IMO.
Which SGIO centre are you dealing with? Myaree, Balcatta or Bassendean? |

The service is pretty good, they just may not let you use a repairer outside of the Bassendean area (not sure about this though).
If you select a repairer, let them know and they will get them to quote and also give them a second crack at quoting if there price is out. |

Only time the insurer is exposed is if the repairer goes broke and no longer exists. Wonder if this has ever been tested when a repair shop changes ownership?? |
