    Car Wrecked

    Hey whats going on, this is for anyone and everyone, some young punk hit my a while ago. Now the tow truck driver took my car and had me sign some papers blah blah blah, i ****ed up and signed for taht collision place to fix it. Now i got the car back and **** isnt done right. If i bring the car to a mazda dealership would they do a write up on everything that still isnt good so i can go to my insurance, and tell them to get the collision place to fix everything?? let me know...
    Oh, by the way the cost of damage $10,000. the car was only 3 months old! how pissed am i!

        Im sorry but that doesnt look like 10,000 of damage(well maybe canadian $$). As far as what the insurance company will or will not pay for NEED TO CONTACT THEM. My car was sidewsipped by a drunk woman hit me on my passanger side tire messed up my suspension..then tried to back out and run...she tore the door off my car and lost her tire when she was on the way home so she was stuck THANK GOD.And the shop did a **** job fixing the car and I had to take it back 5 times...each time I had to prove that what I took the car back for a repair I had to prove that what I took it back for was from the accident for the insurance company to cover the costs. (which was just the axle, as far as the other 4 times, they didnt hang my new door right I had to lift it up to shut it, the door handle fell off in my hand, they did a **** paint job and I cant remember the last reason) Im sorry to hear about your luck, but you NEED to contact your insurance company, this way you know what they will or will not cover no one here can tell you that.

          i talked to mazda they said they would do a look over. the only thing it would cost an hour of work, so i think its worth it. Plus my insurance said they would send the inspector to the shop where it was done so they place will have to fix all the proplems. And yeah it was in canadian funds.
          Thanks everyone

            Awesome. I had my dealership look it over too but I didnt get charged becuase I know the mechanic. I hope everything works out for you. Whats going on with your windshield did they replace that?

                i don't know how things are in canada but you should not be charged for getting an estimate from the dealer. take it to another dealer.

                what is still wrong with the car? what didn't they fix?

                  Well the list of stuff that needed when i got hit;
                  both corner panels, hood, grill (top and bottom), lights, AC, Rad, sub frame, some of the front frame but nothing crazy, all new under body plastic, front frame to hold rad, inside panels for drive side (hope that made sense) theres a bit more i just cant think of them off hand.
                  Now whats the problem, the hood all chipping away, theres still dents and bent parts inside, my air intake is all loose and broken, the gaps are all ****ed up, and worst of all I HAVE NO AC......
                  The windsheild being broken isnt from this though, they saw a chip, but why did it crack so damm fast.
                  for now thats it, ill keep everyone posted.

                  PS
                  I know this is in the wrong section but where/who would know this??
                  ive seen a P5 around the net, he had what looked like to be the front trun signals as his day time runners. Now would something like this be possible, plus how can i put the fog lights to be turned on whenever i want with the switch?

                    what sucks is not that you signed without understanding but that the place was able to take advantage and mislead you when you were most vulnerable, after the accident. i am sorry man.

                    who's insurance is paying for it? usually insurance will allow anybody you choose to work on the car and they will still warrant the work. call the insurance that is paying for it and tell them that you won't take the car untill its done. then ask for the rental. contact your lawyer. don't give up man.

                    i couldn't understand your description of the lights but are you talking about the sedan headlights? those have the turn signals integrated into the housing.
                    and the fog switch is easy. just do a search for it on google or check protege5.com

                      im talking about the regular lights, the ones i have, just instead of having the low beams on the turn signals would stay on as day time runners, but still work as the turn signals. does that make any sense? hopefully that clear some of it up.

                      Oh by the way the guy that hit me is paying but this happened like 2 months ago, i got the car back and found the problems.

                        yeah, i think i understand but... can't you just flip your parking lights on when you turn the car on? that is what i do, i turn the parking lights on and then my fogs turn on (i have the fog mod) and that is how i drive. then i turn them off, simple.

                          no i cant do that cuz, in ontario, canada, its a law that we have whats called day time ruunning lights, what that means is our low beams are always on, no matter if we turn them on or off, if i put my parking lights on then all my lights will shine. it sucks here in canada cuz doing some mods can get you screwed with the law.

                            trust me, i know about DRL. then i am still confused, you want just the turn signals on but then you are worried about being pulled over if your drls are not on? please explain

                              Hey YellowMP5,
                              no im not worried about the cops, i just dont want to mess anything up. i found the mod for the DRL, but after reading it over, sounds very interesting, but i dont want to make the mistake then take it to mazada to get it fixed, plus it might mess with the warrenty.
                              Oh by the way, i forgot to tell you about the car and teh collision, well an inspector came over cuz i was bitching so damm much, looked over the car for about an hour and a half. what does he find out, about half the **** the collision place said they did, wasnt even done. SO now on tuesday im taking it to my insurance's collision place adn they are going to strip it apart, then fix it. After its all done charge the collision place that did it the first, and charge them with fraud. SO im really happy about that.
