LOL!!!!!
It takes that long just to clean the spray gun
A good post however. You wanna try the hail damage here in Melb atm, we are telling people it will be at least 2 months before we can even do the repair estimate!!!!! (we are doing 5 per day + other work that rolls in)
Reporting an incident and not following through with a claim is probably viewed as a plus. Tells the insurance company you aren't hiding anything. Also gives you backup, as some will want to inspect the repair (at their cost)
Whinge away, because whether you are paying or the ins co.....you ARE the customer.
