Bit of a rant but also looking for suggestions

 ·  Posted: 07.04.2022  ·  #1
About two weeks ago while heading away for a cheeky overnight I had the misfortune of having a wingmirror clash and the result is I need a wingmirror and a couple of the graphics replaced on the van, no body damage. The insurance company (AXA) have okayed the repair but dont have a recommended repairer for motorhomes. I have contacted Ford who are not interested in it as its a motorhome (its only a bloody wingmirror and stickers) and Wrights accident repair who are probably one of the biggest in the business in NI and who dont give a crap about even responding after getting pictures etc etc.

Has anyone else found this to be an issue

Can anyone recommend a repairer for this, I could get the parts and do it myself but why should I

Local to you, Kenny Wells on Backwoods Road, Moira. He paints vehicles and Ive seen a couple of vans in for spraying. He built his own van so should be handy for the fitting of the mirror. I never had anything done by him so can't put in a recommendation
