Hello Shaun, I’m not saying your car is sitting level, but heights should be measured from the wheel centre to the underside of the wing, (not to the ground) with the car sitting on level ground. Possibilities;- New spring has now settled, and even fitting a new matching one on the other side, may result in the car not sitting level in the first place. Quality of spring? ‘Third part spring’ . New term for me, but tempted to think this is another phrase for ‘aftermarket’, and could equal not good quality. The garage must inspect and repair the car, since it assumed that it sat level when the new spring was first fitted - and now 4 months later, it doesn’t. New spring broken again? Kind regards, Gareth.

Hello Yusaf again, Very much a personal opinion, but you are causing yourself unnecessary stress by now trying to work out how you would expect the repair to be conducted when at your own admission, you are not even familiar with the basic points of what bodyshop do and don’t do. You are in danger of over complicating the whole thing. Trusted local bodyshops? Visit a couple of smallish local used car sales sites and ask for some recommendations for good trusted bodyshops. These used car boys expect good workmanship at reasonable rates, and should know the good from the bad. These bodyshops will likely be run by people you can actually talk with and discuss what will and won’t be done. Or you can simply go along to larger bodyshops/accident repair centres and sit and have free coffee while some estimator -who you cannot talk to - compiles an estimate. I did say I’m out, and I feel I’m going round in circles! - but you would be doing yourself a favour by not trying to work out how to do it, if you are not actually going to do it. Kind regards, Gareth.
