hey i just thought i would let u know but the experience i had on this weekend passed,i was quoted $330 for a full drivers door assy and they had one there and in stock, so i travelled 400kms to get this door only to get there and find that they in fact did not have one there.. then was told that the quoted price was wrong and went up to $1250 for the door... now people have probably had good business through this company but after the experience i had i will never go there again and will recommend others to not go there too, so now im still lookin for a complete door assy as we speak as i need my car back on the road asap, so if anyone knows a person with one or a reasonable price parts place please let me know, dont care wat colour as will get sprayed but would like the grey blue kinda interior

For a full door (ie metal, trim and glass) $1200 is about the going price at most wreckers, you'd be lucky to score a trim that doesn't need fixing for $330!

Cheers for the heads up though.

So Aaron, did you explain to the owner (Brett)what had happened and who quoted you?

When dealing with any wrecker I always carefully note down the guys name and say "I will come and see you about this xxx that I want, OK?"

It's not uncommon to get an incorrect price, that is why I then say to the owner... "Ralf here quoted me $xxx for this door, didn't you Ralf?"

That then opens up the conflict.

However, it's always good to air these sort of problems. It makes the other punters careful.

ive had no problems with them since i bought my manual conversion off them as well as my short shift kit,but i dealt with the boss, but same time we all have a bad day.

it would be a bastard that you drove all the way down there and nothing was there when they said it was.
