So I was driving out of a parking lot and a car reverses into by rear passenger side door and quarter panel. It was clearly his fault and the other driver had agreed. Here is the picture of the damage the other driver gave the Evo. By the way his car only has paint scratches on the very corner of his rear bumper.





Can anyone give me some good shops around the Seattle area that can help me get this fixed asap?

This is my first time in an accident. I have the other driver's insurance information. I've called the insurance company and left a message. Can anyone give me tips what to look out for?

 

Bel-Kirk Body shop.
12232 NE 116th St, Kirkland 98034
425.823.9303
Pm me i work there as a body tech/painter. I can either run it thru insurance or on the side or custormer pay.

 

damn that sucks bro, i hope everything gets worked out and fixed man! i thought your evo was down for right now? did you fix it?

 

Sorry bout your evo mang. Good thing it was in a parking lot and not on the street!

 

Yeah it sucks. I'm pretty bummed out about it. I just got the new clutch on a little less than a month ago. Now I'm going to let it sit and rest till it gets fixed.

 

I kinda wish that happened to me - I have some rash there that I'd love to fix. There are a couple on the site that work in body shops. Good luck!

 

it might have behooved you to get a police report on that one....hopefully their insurance company won't be a pain though and will pay for it. not sure where you live, but when I had an acura, the dealership recommended a shop over by beco di bepo in lynnwood. They seemed like they did good work. Not cheap though. I forget the name, but they are the only one over there....

 

^good advice. I recommend calling the police as I've been screwed before. Sounds like the other owner accepted fault, but you never know what will happen when they talk to their insurance.

If they say "was anyone seriously injured or are you impeding traffic" (their way of asking if they really need to show up), reply with "depending on what this driver says about the incident, there may be a serious injury!"

 

If you don't get here fast there will be!!
This **** just BACKED into my car!

 

The other driver was a 60+ disabled man. He was in the handicap parking spot. This happened in northgate mall in front of toys r us. The insurance agent had said that the other driver accepted fault but their claims office will also have to get that statement. I think I will be okay as far as insurance goes. He gave his insurance and phone number before I had asked. I was debating to call the police I have a friend in SPD. I'll talk to him about it. As soon as I get the okay I will find a shop that will make it as easy on me.

 

Good to hear. Probably more trustworthy than some skater punk driving dad's car.

Bit of a rant - if we aren't going to enforce re-testing at certain ages then we should at least enforce re-testing at certain ages when the person is the cause of the accident.

 

Haha I agree. I appreciate all the help and advice.

 

I agree, at least it was someone with some morals, he probably had no problem accepting the blame if it was his fault. They actually had morals back then, not like today's kids.

 

^ does that mean you?

 

Not me..besides, I am usually the one getting hit, why do you think I had to paint my car.
