I took the car back 2 weeks ago for reinspection, the 1st assessor wasnt very forthcoming, refused to do anything about the front bumper sagging, said he'll only cover the front guard not sitting flush with the bodywork.

after I took it in, another assessor had a look, the problem wasnt the guard, it's the bonnet sitting lower than the guard, so the front driver side sags 10mm front the passanger side.

So now they are taking the whole front end apart and refit everything.

they might also need to replace the front bumper cause the previous repair only "stuck" the bumper on, the hooks were actually broken, hence why the front end sags....

That'll teach AAMI to fix a non-driveable car in 5 days and costing only $3500..... But at least some people do their job right.
How much grief was it dealing with AAMI? I'm with them and have noticed some rust on my boot lid where the repairer resprayed it. Do I have to go back to the original repairer because in all honesty I don't want anything to do with them ever again. Would rather pay the money to someone else to fix than deal with the clowns who repaired my car last time.

PS. Sorry for thread hijack simon. For what it's worth my car was hit from the rear about a year ago, all airbags on both the passenger side went off (not the front though) and AAMI decided it was better off repaired rather than being written off. As you can probably tell from above I would NOT recommend the guys I was told to use. 6 week wait for my car to come back and 4 of that was spent sitting in the workshop waiting for the go to start work.

Was kind of chucking a sickie that day so karma got me good lol.
