Poor wee Milly!

[Lynsey]

Boyfriend and Brother took my wee Milly down to Manchester last weekend for the Man U vs Newcastle game, whilst exiting the car parking space/place there was a small kerb, so down they bumbed, lightly did they know, there was a drain, so the car ended up dropping further than expected and the damage was done!!!!

Took Milly to Menzies and the Jack Point (I think) on the drivers side is damaged and there is a tear in the under carriage, im waiting on my quote...... any ideas on prices?!

Im scared, very scared!

This happened to me. I was crossing the central reservation on the M90 across the gravel n stuff (dont ask) and the kerbs are kinda raised. So when the front end slumped back down to the road there was an almighty thud! Checked for damage, everything was ok and i thought nothing of it..

about 4 months later, I was changing the wheels on my car, went to jack it up and I actually thougt I was loosing the plot! I couldnt for the life of me find the jacking point. It was just gone completely. The one on the other side is still there. But you can still jack the car no bother so i just left it.

Right well Menzies quoted £250-£300, but my invoice hasnt appeared yet so I dont know whats actually being charged for as yet! Then I took Milly to Eastern in Edinburgh, where I bumped into Norman!!!! They told me the Jack Point is about a fiver!!! And mentioned something about maybe getting a new side skirt, but there is no cosmetic damage thankfully, so I asked if my side skirt would fall off if I didnt get a new one.... NO so I wont be buying and painting a new one. The guy at Eastern advised me to go to the Eastern Western repair centre in Broxburn, they did a good job with my arches so I'll take it there Sat, see what they say!

Typical..... 3 weeks before my flaming holiday!

Hi lynsey,spoke to bodyshop manager about the estimate and there is damage to the side skirt and the trim that runs parallel to the skirt,If u can contact us at menzies with your email address i can email you out the pictures of the damage,Its not structural damage so need to panic about wee milly its purely cosmetic.

God Im confused, as I was told there was NO cosmetic damage from eastern! Got my invoice on friday and I will email you my email address so I can see what the deal is..... my pocket mirror and torch doesnt really do it justice! The reason I'd also gone to eastern was cause its closer to my work at Edinburgh Park, cause I need it done asap before I go my holiday, and my not so wonderful boss wont let me have time off..... a saturday maybe necessary now!!!

Milly's fixed...... wahey! £265, cheers Menzies, much appreciated!

Glad everything is Sorted Lynsey.
