A KANGAROO HIT MY BABY?
My Jeep Sport Cherokee was stopped by a kangaroo? It was suppose to be the trip of a lifetime only to be short changed by a Kangaroo that decided to jump right in front of my Jeep while doing over 80 klm’s. We were headed up North for a holiday break from the Melbourne weather and then boom the biggest crunch i ever heard. The kangaroo was huge and believe it or not it the car accident damage was mainly on the left hand side of my Jeep Cherokee Sport. Bonnet, tail lamp and front quarter panel damage which was I thought was all the was damaged to the untrained eye. So we piled back in the car and headed to the nearest town.
Not getting too far in my Jeep Cherokee Sport.
There was coming out of the engine. all beeps and whistles were coming on and then decided to get the car towed to the nearest town to their auto body repairer. Only to later find out that they don’t repair Jeeps and it is needed to be taken to the Jeep repair specialist. As i lived in Melbourne I decided to have her towed back to Melbourne. so i said goodbye to my short lived freedom holiday and headed back to the cold. After several calls to repairers that were not willing to take on such a large job. One repairer wanted to charge me nearly half of what the car was worth. So i kept of searching as the repairs were more extensive than first thought.
I was nearly ready to put her to bed and I thought I would look again as I needed a trusted panel beater with a good name and willing to take on Jeep repairs then PJ’s Panel’s came up in the search. One call to PJ’s Panels is all it took. they assured me that they had repaired many jeeps and that I am in good hands. I also liked the fact that the reviews I found were positive reviews. So I agreed to have my Jeep towed to their shop. They did encounter some problems. As I was not insured at the time of the accident as I had changed credit cards and the direct debtor had not come thru so hence not insured. I was only aware of this find after the accident. So that added onto many other events of trouble for me as a previous repairer wanted nearly half the amount of the market value just to repair my jeep so that scared me and though is their a panel repairer out there in Melbourne that is willing to take on this job and not rip me off? Thank you PJ’s Panels that did a faultless repair job and the assistant there rang several places to find the parts at the right price for me. It is refreshing for me to see an Independent company go so much out of their way to assist me in the repairs of my Jeep.
JEEP COMPASS SMASH REPAIR
For this Jeep Compass driver. Going to work on a Monday morning was bad enough let alone having a accident that was not the owner’s fault. Having sitting at the light awaiting to go and being hit from behind which then pushed me into the car in front of me. Talk about the meat in the sandwich. The at fault driver excuse was that it was Monday and he was not paying attention. He thought the lights were green and decided to go. The result was a big bank at the back of my prestige Jeep Compass.
My first thought was not a great way to start the week and as I am a sales rep I needed my car repaired fast and a hire car as well.
