Just got the 182 back from being repaired after someone slid into on ice over christmas. Not too happy with the repairs, just wondered what options I have now.
Initial damage to the car was passenger door dented to the point of being jammed shut with the lock sticking out, and dents to the rear 3/4 panel. The bodyshop have told me its had a new door and new 3/4 panel. The door I can beleive, the 3/4 panel I doubt.
Anyway, the main problem is how the door sits. Basically its miles out at the top (sits proud of the roof line by about 5mm) but seems fine at the bottom/ front/ sides. Took it back the the bodyshop who first claimed it has been in a previous accident (95% sure it hasn't), then put it down to varying standards of spare parts!!
Whats my best course of action now?? It was an insurance approved bodyshop so, if I was to complain to the insurance, I'm sure they would go with the bodyshop..
cheers
