I have recently come into contact with a few items unfortunately after having my license for 3 weeks (I have extremely bad depth perception due to me being born squint and having an eye op - not very helpful when parking)

The car is insured but unfortunately because I have had my license for under a year and I am younger than 21, my excess is R3000 but I still need to get a competitive quote to replace my bumper of my '05 Yaris, as well as get the rear left door panel-beated and the entire car resprayed (misjudged a turn in a parking bay and put a nice dent in my door and a lot of white paint on my car - and took a bit of my paint off)

Hopefully someone knows of someone, as I am a student and have a really tight budget.

Oh, and I'm in Cape Town.
 
"Cheap" and "panel beater" usually don't go well together. I'd suggest you contact 2 or 3 Toyota dealers & ask the workshop manager who they use. Are you sure you should be driving?

I am sorry but if your vision is impaired you should not be driving without some corrective measures like glasses.
 
Maybe consider not having your car repaired yet... If it's only been 3 weeks and you have been in a couple of bumps, it's only logic to assume that you are going to be in a couple more
 
I can drive perfectly fine, It's just the parking I strugge with at times, if it is at a difficult angle, and at night.

Just the normal fees ;)
 
You hit other parked cars? :eek:

JCF Motors - wouldn't let them touch my car again though...but they are cheap.
 
Shame I know your pain! I drove for two years without a single incident, until some lady decided she wanted physical contact! Was so p!ssed... Made her pay though... BIG time! Perhaps you don't want a panel beater... rather a dent-doctor ... much cheaper and they usually know their stuff!

Yes, I'm ashamed to say it but I did. Although can't really call it a "hit", my car looks a lot worse and is going to cost a lot more, still have the wait for a quote for his bumper tho.
