Dropped it off to be repainted at a body shop on milwick drive in north york and i went to florida. Came back with a phone call from the police and a letter in the mail stating that my car had been in an accident and was totaled. No new news yet other than the driver took the car from the body shop where he worked and was doing over 220km/h on 401 and 427 and was arrested on spot and is in custody, the shop on the other hand has to shell out some money after we're done sorting out this mess. The car was impounded and we had a $900+ bill to pay, as well as the guy who stole the car also hit a opp cruiser and we have to pay for the damages too. Apparently because we own the car, and my insurance was kicking in this past thursday, they're not covering anything.

WTF... that is some serious BS. I hope the company doesnt just fold because of the bill.

That is unreal though! I am sure it will turn into a headache!

WTF!

I agree, this is going to be a headache. Get a lawyer, look over your insurance contact, file against the guilty, the body shop, and your insurance company. Don't get some hole in the wall lawyer either, insurance companies have devils for lawyer's...

People owe you a new car... and probably more.

I know in the US there would be a list of things to file against them all starting with pain and suffering.

well the suspect being charged is going to court this week, from what I've been told by the opp officer. Other than that, I may not have to pay for the damages to the cruiser but the car is now parked up at a friend's place and im gonna have to end up selling it for parts to make some of my money back as the insurance say that they will not cover any damages because the policy was going to be activated as of the past week instead of the week before. My lawyer will be in contact with both the insurance and the accused.

it doesnt matter what the ins comp says. you didnt need insurance. the shops employee stole the car and wrote it off. the cops are being dicks and cant charge you with . your car was stolen and then was involved in a police chase. the kid who stole it is gonna get charged and is gonna end up having to sell his tight little *** to make some money and reimburse you. and that shop despite what they say are responsible for your car. it was on their property, taken from their lot. which means if they dont cover it their insurance has no choice but to. chances are theyre gonna want to settle with you and not involve their insurance as its gonna go up with somethign like this.

monday I will be appearing in court to hear the verdict and also make arrangements as to what i would like done with my car, they are saying that the bodyshop will pay for all damages to the cruiser, and compensate for the impound fees that was paid by myself. As for my car, the bodyshop has a few options either pay for damages ie; price the car was purchased and work that i did to it myself plus registration of the vehicle, or the fix the car back to how it was when i dropped it off to be painted. So far my lawyer is telling me to take the money and forgot the whole thing, plus i will still have my car so i can sell it for parts and make back a bit of extra money.

Sounds like it's became less of a nightmare then I was thinking! That is some good news to read IMO. I agree with your lawyer, get another car, part the bashed one and put this behind you.

 
Rep Power: 617

I'd personally try to get them to fix it. You put work into the car. Why start over? A new car wouldn't mean as much I think.

this is what you get when any punjab who can't read english, can bring 10 cousins over to the new world and start up a body shop in Markham.

i am sorry to hear about your missfortune. i've been burned a few times myself, and recently a friend of mine had the exact same thing happen to them. what pisses me off is the lack of ethics of ALL ****ing parties involved, in this case, OPP is included, ****ing koksaakers, they are there to serve and protect, paid from your taxes, and they just choose to become an extra stressing party : "oh you have to pay for our car, even though this has nothing to do with you"

What this deal has to do with is :
- improper business licensing
- improper business procedures moderated by the govt ( people )
- lack of ethics and profesionalism
- stupid ignorant ****ing cops

Everyone is at fault BUT you, yet i'm sure, aside from the dumb**** that stole your car, you got it the worst

P.S. to the ppl basing me for pointing out ... how could i shut up ... just look at this guy ... and many like him ... just wait till you get burned ... i wonder what your brainwashed minds will allow you to think like then ... i wonder if you would actually end up blaming yourselves for something like this happening to you . and you should blame yourselves . because with like this arround the only things canadians meet publicly to support are weed and gay pride .

P.P.S. ... i wonder who contacted their MP after this
