Had a smash last night - panel shops please

[Mr Messy]

Hey guys, I need a syd panel shop after a minor acco last night.

I was driving the Golf straight through a green traffic light.
There was a driver on the other side of the intersection that wanted to turn right across my path.
There is no green arrow there, and he horribly misjudged when it would be safe to cross. He pulled out in front of me only moments before I was to cross his path.
I swerved and managed to avoid ploughing into the side of his car, but the side of my car grazed down his then-stationary front end.

I'm fine, as was he, but I now need to get some panels sorted (front right 3/4 panel, driver's door, passenger door maybe sill too.)

Any help would be appreciated.

ahh that sucks majorly, least your alright.. remember one thing. its always a car in the end

Jade Auto Repair @ Rosebery would be who i recommend, they are the only one who touch my car(s) and always do a fantastic job. Theres almost 20 guys or so from vortex and some from here to go there quite often to get work done on they're cars..

Contact Damian on 9663-0427 and tell him Pierre told you to call or you can email them damian@jadeauto.com.au

Hope you get it sorted dude

[Mr Messy]

Thanks bud.
Shannons are doing the job for $0 excess and zero penalty for no-claim bonus, which is good. I asked them about Jade and the insurance dude looked through their history and had only positive feedback for the place, so I booked the car in tomorrow.
Damien seems like an alright fella too.

This is what $3600 in panel damge looks like:



The car will have new doors and front arch, plus some new paint for the bonnet (the bent arch panel chafed the bonnet back to bare metal when I opened it to check for obvious damage). I won't be out of pocket for the crash but its a pain to lose the car for a few days. At least there's no mechanical damage.

ouch what did ya hit?

[Mr Messy]

It's up the top of the post. I was going through a green traffic light.
A berk on the other side wanted to go right. There's no turning arrow at the intersection, so he used his stellar judgement to pull out in front of me after I had ''entered'' the intersection. I could have t-boned him but swerved and scraped along his festiva instead.
