This was a while ago, but from memory it was a sign off to him for repairs? Nothing in it that mentioned fees in the event of a write off...

We were under the impression that it could be repaired. It was a rear end. Based on the payout and the damage we were actually surprised it…

Sorry about the confusion, We're dealing with a third party claims company who are dealing with RACV. We engaged them as the panel beater…

We've received a partial payout excluding the salvage amount ($600). The salvage amount will be paid directly to us after pick up of the…

I'd assume keep the car from getting picked up by the wreckers? and leaving us unable to retrieve the plates to cancel registration.

No AAMI. The at fault party is RACV.
20/04/2023 - 11:57
Market value. Having said that, the payout was quite generous given the age of the car. We don't think we could have sold it for any more…

I was under the impression any claim increased your premiums etc. Thanks!
20/04/2023 - 11:55
I wasn't aware. Will keep it in mind for next time. Thanks! Hopefully there isn't a next time though...

That is looking like the consensus. Will have to go back to both and get them to sort it out between themselves then
20/04/2023 - 11:53
Yes, but we were reluctant to use it because of the no-claims discount.
20/04/2023 - 11:48
They said it was highly unusual and that they hadn't dealt with something like this before. Both the insurance and the panel beater are…

We just found a panel beater that had semi decent reviews (4+ stars) so we wouldn't get sent off to the at fault party's insurance company…

Our claims team. The person we spoke to seemed uncertain about it as they hadn't experienced anything like this either.
20/04/2023 - 11:36
That's what we were thinking, but we've never had a car get written off before, or really had to deal with panel beaters in the past.
20/04/2023 - 11:33
We were thinking it was strange that it wouldn't be covered by the at fault party's insurance. Surely he could have added it to the storage…

My car was recently written off (not at fault accident), the panel beater has since called to ask for payment of $550 prior to salvage and…
