Where to fix the parking damage in Melbourne?

[SebNa]

Hi guys,

can you recommend a good repair shop in Melbourne area to fix the parking damage on my 07 XT:
- rear bumper replacement
- tail light replacement
- tail gate - dent and paint crack - not sure if can be repaired, repainted?

I am also considering claiming from insurance, I have comprehensive policy with AAMI. Any advise in relation to this option?

Cheers,
Seb

How did it happen, any chance of someone else being at fault?!
You'd have to check all the ins and outs of the policy to see whether it is worth claiming but I imagine it would be.
Or just buy the bits secondhand (or new) and fix most of it yourself, bumper and taillight replacement is pretty easy if nothing is bent underneath, find a panel beater to bog and spray the tailgate (and probably bumper), be a heap cheaper than getting someone to do it all if you're not claiming insurance.

Thanks mate. I have $650 excess so I guess I’ll claim it and take from there.
