ouch!

Glad you got a responsible neighbor with insurance.

 

Tell me about it! I left my car parked in lot for the day at mission beach(San Diego)and when I came back to my car at the end of the day there was a big dent in the trunk with a red paint stain from some idiot in a suv.the dent looks tdrrible a d is going to cost me 650 to repair. So I feel your pain
Bro.

 

That sux dude!After only having my car for a month, some dingbat opened their door on my car and gave it a nice shiner!I saw some idiot back into a car at a starbucks last night and speed out of the parking lot.So so sad people these days!

 

That quarter will be an ugly repair, make sure a VERY good body shop does it

 

Found a very good shop. A place called Cooks Collision Repair, it's a bit further north, but worth it from what I hear.

 

+1 good luck w/ the fix

 

sorry to see

 

Damn, that sucks! Sorry, dude

 

Remember when the insurance adjuster comes to look at it and says.. Easy fix, some bondo and nice paint match it will be just like new.. MAKE SURE YOU ASK when and where you buy a new car with bondo on it ? and go on to argue that the car didnt come with it and you dont want it now. They attempted to do that to my Audi TT when i twas rocked and i argued till he gave me my new door

Best of luck, sorry to see

 

Sucks that this happened to your evo. Even though its a hassle waiting for it to get done, you will get it back looking brand new.

 

I'm not worried a bit... They may not replace the entire panel, but may have to cut it out and weld sand a part back on.

I'm in with a GOOOD body shop that will get what they need out of this insurance company. They will do what it takes to get it looking brand new again, no bump out and bondo.

Besides, these are slices like a razor blade and on creases in the body. much different. I will get the adjuster's initial estimate Monday and will be taking my car in next week to see what the real damage is.

 

Ok just got initial estimate back, anyone have a guess of what it was, and what it SHOULD be?

 

I'd guess the adjuster's initial estimate was about $2250 and that it will actually cost about $3500 to get fixed properly.

 

Well that sucks, but at least you don't have to pay for it. And i know its suck a hassle getting **** done on your car.

 

Wow you're really close... He said $2500 or so and wrote me a check for the amount. Not sure if I cash it now or wait until the body shop looks at it and adds the supplemental damages (which I'm sure there will be). Nice guess!!!!
