Exactly this, not to tar all mobile companies with the same brush but generally speaking the quality of repair and finish left behind are not 100%! Also over time the "quick fix" can come off leaving you back at square one.HR Imports said:As above, get it done properly. Anything that's a "quick fix" is never going to be to the standard of a reputable body shop.
Usually if you google companies like that, it's enough to put most people off. They are a franchise so experiences can vary drastically depending on whether you get a good or a bad one. I personally wouldn't take the risk, especially if someone else is paying
Thanks for the responses I understand the quick fix gimmicks, I just wanted it fixed asap. I was pretty torn when he told me and just didn't want to delay or cause anymore blemishes leaving it unattended. But I have taken the advice given above and will take to an insurance approved body shop and send him the invoice. He knows it's my pride and joy so does the misses.Ben_dc5R said:
Good plan, at there's at least one positive being that you know who did it and it will be rectified. Hope the repair is of a high standard matea4m1r said:Thanks for the responses I understand the quick fix gimmicks, I just wanted it fixed asap.

Thanks I managed to get someone to come down, who is an authorised body repairer he said to bring into the body shop and has assured me it will be a top job. Car is worth every expense cheers guys thanks for advice..Chrismartin said:Good plan, at there's at least one positive being that you know who did it and it will be rectified.

Multicoloured Honda‘s are not uncommon, especially when looking at the front end. They chip very easily and a lot of people get them repaired.a4m1r said:
The car was imported through torque gt but it wasn't a auction car they purchased it off Honda dealership as I wanted a straight car with no accident history or any blemishes car is immaculate. I understand about colour fade but I've had the car for literally for 3 months now and didn't find any odd shading every time I washed the car it was glowing all I could see was one shade, but then again the body shop are professionals and advised to do all one side.MaxJ said:
Yeah that‘s fair – it could be a case of the fact that they may struggle to blend the fresh paint on one panel in with the older paint as well then. That‘s the reason a lot of people end up getting full front end resprays when only something like the bonnet or bumper really needs doing.a4m1r said:
Yeah perhaps, he did state to do whole wing and door then to blend it into the rear quarter panel otherwise as you mentioned will have fresh new paint and may notice shading. But this is only one garage so will get a few more opinions from other body shop and see what they say. Overall told the girlfriend what they quoted so papa has to pay up, and learn to use his mirrors and reverse properly :lol:MaxJ said:
