Z Vandalized, any good body shops in the GTA?
 

- the rear/front bumper scratched and dented
- hood scratched from broken glass that was on the car (broken oven glass thats in the garage in front of my Z)
- trunk wont close due to the rear bumper being damaged, and im not sure if the trunk is bent that it wont close or if its because of the rear bumper dented, stock alarm did not go off, and when you press lock on your key fob the horn sounds each time you press lock, but it does not sound, only sounds when you press the horn on the steering wheel itself,
- and the gas cap does not open until you press lock and unlock on your key fob 30 times. i cant see what else has scratches on it because its too cold to wash the car outside which i normally do, and i cant use the car wash because water will come through.

im not sure if there is any other type of damage behind the rear bumper, they will have to take it off. or anymore scratches or engine.

i read the thread from the (smashed z) and a comment "ire" made that they also had problems, pm'd them, but yet to receive a reply, but until then, does anyone know a body shop around the gta, that they actually had work done on there Z. i would really Love to know and get feed back on their Zs, bc the blue convertible was waaaaaaay worse than me, or atleast it looks it.

i know theres a place called grand touring on dupont near ossington, they sell lambos, ferraris, roll royce, bughattis, if they do work on those expensive cars, and im sure they take super care and precautions with them, they can surely handle a Z, right?

but my insurance said they have places they recommend, and if i go to those ones, the work will be guaranteed for as long as i own the car, ive seen one of the places they spoke of, which is across one of my work locations, and ive seen them park cars on the street, as there lot can only hold 10 or so cars, and ive seen them lay down new bumpers on the concrete floor with nothing underneath...............

my adjusters english could be better, as she did not answer me when i asked if the work that is being guaranteed also includes the paint to match my vehicle, bc im scared that if it doesnt match, and the body shop disagrees and says it does, than what.. than she said its upto the appraiser to decide... so how is that a guarantee for me if im not satisfied..? and wont the insurance company be on the bodyshops side, bc if i ask them to redue the paint, not only will they be pissed, maybe? but wont the insurance have to double pay them? and if that is the case, then the appraiser may side with them..

i also called the body shop that is contracted by avenue nissan and spoke to the owner who seemed pretty rude.. i know shops dont usually allow the car owner to sit there and watch the work being done, but another nissan told me that there bodyshop that is also contracted out has a small viewing area, not sure how good of a view, but idk about there reputation, theres little or good and REALLY bad reviews for certain bodyshops...

i also asked the rude one, that i wanted to place a camera in my car as ive heard horror stories and that would make me feel comfortable, he said we cant have you baby sit the car, and well have to unplug it, i said it was wireless, and he said well then idc, not sure if he meant thats fine or not?

beefing up security, so it doesnt happen again, if it does, he will have to go through a few dogs, multiple hidden wireless cameras with a direct feed to private security and police, a gun, (ok, maybe not), sensor with alarm on a new garage door, light that will shine up the entire yard as well as one inside the garage, and idk if i will get a transparent, polycarbonate garage door, that way everything will be seen, even though there will be a light a camera inside as well. and of course an aftermarket alarm like i had on my 350z.

i actually lost weight, cant eat, cant sleep, and im a mental mess.. i love this car as much as my old 350z

sorry if some of that did not make sense, my minds a blur right now, and i cant think straight until my car is fixed, i just want everything to be perfect again

That's rough. Sorry man. Any pics?

ya im having trouble putting them up

gta Toronto !

it looks no where near as bad as it does in person, + all the scratches that cant be seen and some which i havent spotted, i havent even driven the car since the first snowfall and some ******* does this......

oh wow I feel you bro
sorry I didn't reply earlier I haven't checked the site in a couple days

as for my shop. I go to velocity autobody. they kept my car on the rack the whole time it was there indoors cept the one overnight (I brought it in at 5am and left it almost right in front of the shop lol)

I'll pm you more details in the morning

That is SH!TTY to hear man!

Who the FCUK does that!!?!?!??!

Velocity is awesome.

I believe Zefaulter has a guy that does awesome work

Elite Concepts does awesome work also, the owner has a Z of his own.

Awful. :( Someone random just broke into your garage, or is this someone targeting you?

Really sorry you have to go through this. Velocity is the only place I will take my Z to. I have had insurance work done(on a different car) as well as touch up on my Z. They do fantastic work.

Get one (or two) dashcam and wire it(them) to the battery.

edit: Looking at the photos, this is a possible total loss.

I also recommend Velocity, been using them for 4 cars over 10 years.

oh god plz dont say that, total loss already happened on xmas eve when i was heading out to dinner with my 350z when i hit black ice, right before entering the highway a few years back.

i can see right through rear bumper from the top to the ground, and as far as it looks, its just seems to be the bumper, no? i can see the crash bar? if thats the name, and it has not been touched, i dont think

2 total losses and ill never be able to drive again. i know it, or pay $1000+ a month for insurance, idk

i havent even driven my car since the start of december? or whenever it was it started to know, so its been in the garage for a while now, and like i said another car in the garage next to me, and 2 other cars outside the garage..

idk who would do this, i turn my music off and when im coming home late i drive slow, so i dont bother anyone, and my exhaust and everything is stock so its not that loud to begin with. but i know it can be at night on a quiet street, but why would they target me 1.5 years later, i havent done anything..

can i ask why you think its a total loss? thats scaring the *@^!@ out of me. im already losing it mentally.

ive seen threads of taking off rear bumper, and there just seems to be a crash bar along with some wiring for the lights, but thats it. my tail lights, fog light, have no been touched.

sorry for repeating myself, but i wont know any other damages until i wash my car to see for scratches or cracks and until the bumpers come off.

Maybe to soon...
