How long is too long to repair a car?

[PKLD]

Not sure where to ask/put this but I’m getting increasingly frustrated that my car which was damaged in early December is still not back from the body shop.

It was a non-fault accident that ended up damaging some parts of front suspension, new alloy, bumper, running lights etc but the steering rack has also to be replaced which is on back order.

Having never had an accident before in all these years I don’t know if I’m being impatient or is it shocking that a VW Golf takes months to repair?

I’m not enjoying driving thousands of miles in a little hire car compared to the car I bought for that job

Thanks, just didn’t know how common it is to be waiting months for parts. I’ve read people moaning that Tesla’s take ages for repairs, one of the reasons I went with a Golf was because it’s a Golf! Being a GTE I didn’t think would matter too much for normal parts...

Oh well just have to keep hammering around in a little Hyundai for a bit longer
