:mad:A) A few weeks ago i went to get my tires changed and the idiot who jacked her up cracked my skirts..

:mad:B) Went to clean the car out today and whilst hoovering my carpets, i pushed the seat foward (not to hard) and the head rest cracked my window screen..

:mad:C) Parked the car up at work as usual today only to find when i got back some t*at has drove into the front of it cracking the front bumper and diddnt even own up..

I think that maybe the `Nova gods` are against me! :roll:

I have a nice crack in my GTE project from the previous owner... brought the car 3 years ago and it still has a cracked screen.

ALWAYS walk around your car with whoever you drop your car off to and make a note of any existing damage, and get them to sign a piece of paper confirming that. I did that with my cav when it went in for an MOT a few years back on the heads up from my mate (as a lot of lorries use his yard to turn around), and when i went to pick it up, half the arch was ripped off. He tried to tell me that it was like that anyway, so i told him he'll be hearing from my solicitor regarding the piece of paper he signed.

I had a cheque from him within 15 minutes :thumb:

cool thing is it may not have been DIRECTLY his faul. He left out on the road in chav town is another possibility but still he is responsible.Anyway my ussual and now pernement mechanic has enough paint left from some previous spray work to cover the boot, so ill only be paying labour ect. but here is still the issue of the bumper. At least i took some pics still at the garage as soon as i noticed.
Tip of the day find a good workshop and stick with him dont do what i did and go to another one because its less booked up and just down the road!!
