Slache Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Accident was in February, we have had the car for almost a month. It started shimmying so he drove it home, made a maintenance appointment and we haven't touched it in two days. Today he went to take it to the appointment and it's completely dead. The hood doesn't open. He's calling the body shop that did the work now. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 That's so frustrating for you! I really hope it can be fixed. No experience, just sympathy to offer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassia Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Sympathy from me too. I'm so sorry! Glad it happened at home at least so no one was stuck somewhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time my van was totally unresponsive, it was a fuse. Super easy to fix, once you have replacement fuses and know which fuse to fix. However, I don't think the van was doing anything weird beforehand. Praying they can fix it quickly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree Frog Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 What did the body shop say? Are they willing to honor their work? Anecdotally, ds hit something that flew down possibly from an overpass while he was heading back to college In Jan, making the car undriveable. It wasn't until the end of Feb the body shop was able to start looking at it. He got the car back, but ended up taking it in 3-4 times for things they should've caught, like connecting the washer fluid resevoir with the wipers. It was frustrating and time consuming for him, but they honored their work. I hope your body shop will do the same! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a body shop not too far from us (I think we're in the same city) we've used several times if you need another recommendation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fun. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
