Car is all fixed

I dropped my car off at the panel beaters this morning to get the rear bumper fixed under insurance and I was going to pay for the stone chip in the bonnet to be fixed along with the damage from where someone parked into me and drove off.
I was meant to get a courtesy vehicle so I could go straight to work but after waiting 45 minutes (8:30am) I was told that the car wasn't on site and that someone would drive me to work and they would deliver the courtesy vehicle later in the day... umm ok, after another 40 or so minutes to get from Fitzroy to Richmond in peak hour in the rain I finally get to work about 2 hrs later than normal grrr.

By 2pm I hadn't had a call from them about it so I called them and after being on hold for almost 10 minutes they tell me that my car will be delivered to me - oooh it's already done? Yeah they only needed to re-spray it all and it's nice n quick to do - sweeeet!

A bit more stuffing around with getting them to pick me up and needing to stop at an ATM to get cash as they don't have eftpos or do CC's (wtf is with that!) I had my car back by about 4:30pm! The extra work cost me $450 and the insurance work was about $700.

I was however hoping that they would wash my car, but the place they normally take them to was closed today, I'm guessing there is no point them being open in this weather, so this weekend I will take to a place that cleans inside and out for under $30 :D
