CoopsOz 0 Posted October 6, 2015 Hi all, I'm trying to track down somebody in Canberra to do some panel work for me. I've been knocked back by a few of the shops in Fyshwick presumably because they would prefer insurance jobs. I'm happy to do it through a shop or a cashy if that's what it takes. Anyone able to assist? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy2287 1,886 Posted October 6, 2015 Professional panel and paint in fyshwick? I dunno, Damage is pretty minor, it Sounds dumb that any panel shop would turn down a paying customer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sikxe351 229 Posted October 9, 2015 Most panel shops only do insurance work now. I got my bonnet sprayed by Brett at Mitchell Smash Repairs, I was very happy with the job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CoopsOz 0 Posted October 13, 2015 The guys at J racing said they would do it between insurance jobs. It's not my daily so I might go with them. Thanks for the suggestions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hendrixhc 10,921 Posted October 13, 2015 it Sounds dumb that any panel shop would turn down a paying customer. I couldnt get anyone to repaint the roof and bonnet on the XE. All said they were not interested in the job. I must have have gone to alt least 6 different shops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoopsOz 0 Posted October 13, 2015 Same deal. They don't even bother talking about price, just a flat out "sorry mate, not interested". I constantly hear on the news how tough small business does it in this country....obviously doesn't apply to panel shops! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bear351c 10,273 Posted October 13, 2015 I'm guessing it's a time V's money thing...... Late model cars are easier, just buy the panels, match the paint code, install, get paid. 2 Outback Jack and judgetread reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
