Got Rear-ended on the way to work.. HELP!!

Anyone have a good body shop they use? The damage is minimal, really just spider webbed the paint abover the LP on my rear bumper and gave it a nice indention, but it must be fixed asap as it is driving me crazy now. This guy decided my bumper was a better choice than to spill his granola in the car.. litterally this was verbatim from the guys mouth. He is giving me cash as soon as I get a quote. (got ins. card and business card also) Like I said above, I want to get it fixed so i need a reputable body shop. Im in Plano by GB and the Tollway for a proximity to the shop.

Contact KevinD at EvoDynamics. He uses a body shop close to EvoD and I have seen good work at reasonable prices.

Sorry. Let me restate.

Call KevinD at EvoDynamics. He has used a shop several times and they produced excellent results in a reasonable amount of time.

Just a suggestion.

Since you're at GB and DNT, Trade Secret is also the closest, since it's right down the GB from you.... only a few miles.

Any idea of a part # for the rear bumper from Mitsu? Any one had to replace the rear bumper?

Those were all taken with an iPhone 4 too! I always forget how much EB pops in the sunlight until I get around to washing my car.

TRADE SECRET; I personally won't even consider anyone else. They've did beautful work on my IX when it got T-boned by a large SUV with brush guard, my X when it was in for detailing, and my wife's WRX when it bounced off a contcrete highway divider.

I show part number 6410B308 for the cover itself, 6410B300 for the extension assembly.


ETA: From an insurance perspective, you should call your company and let them know what happened. It's not your fault, so it won't affect your rates, and if (when) the guy balks at paying, you are protected. Insurance companies can subrogate and get all the money back.

Edited again: Also, if it's just spidering, the bumper should be repaired, not replaced.
