MUZBRY, If you've found a good repairer, that's excellent, and make sure you stick with them and let others know they are good.
Unfortunately, in the past, after having had extensive experience of smash repairers (due to owning a fleet of vehicles and having regular repairs carried out due to employee damage and vehicle theft), I found the workmanship of numerous smash repairers was not up to scratch.
I know there is constant effort to stamp out dodgy repairers, but they still appear regularly, just like dodgy and incompetent mechanics - despite all the licencing and training and Govt assurances.
Bottom line is - it's the lowest paid, the most overworked and least capable employee, that gets given all the "hard" jobs in these
places - the ones where they have to have 3 elbows, 90cm long arms, and X-ray vision - and have to lie on their back on the floor and reach up 80cm.
Then, the level of supervision can often be totally inadequate, as the supervisor is run off his feet.
As a result, the quality of finish and attention to detail is often seriously lacking.
I'm not saying all repairers are the same, you just have to ensure the one you employ is up to speed.
Cheers, Ron.
