[QUOTE="68 obe, post: 633473, member: 24430"] I had a door repaired around April this year, it needed a bit of filler work then a spray over. The door had 2 cracks in the body filler so the bodyshop said they would need to dig out the old filler with a grinder then redo the filler work. I agreed to the work needed and collected the door a few weeks later. Fast forward to the end of August and the door has 3 cracks in the filler. I rebuilt the door when I got it back but the vehicle hasn't been on the road, it hasn't even turned a wheel. I thought that it shouldve lasted longer so took it back to the bodyshop. They said they can do it again and needed to dig out the filler (the quote, and I paid for this to be done the first time) I left the door with them thinking they would redo it free of charge or only charge me for materials as no mention of any costs and it was to fix their mistakes. I've got a message saying the door is now ready to collect and they are charging me again, £100 more then I paid the first time. How long should a repair last? Is it my fault the filler cracked? Is it right i should pay again, and more than the first time as I believe its there fault the filler has cracked as they didn't take the filler right back the first time. Any advice on this matter is much appreciated Thanks [/QUOTE]
