Ok my car was hit a few days ago and I was wondering if this looked like an expensive repair?
What do you guys think? Also my wheel has a slight vibration to it now as well. Smh. Also, I was unsure about the insurance process. Do they write me a check so I can shop around and find a cheaper price?

Well I'm gunna say maybe 2-3k.
07-01-2012
Really?!!?!
Is it that bad?!
07-01-2012
2-3k? idk about that

Well my dads car had a dented fender like that and a tire problem on his right side. Only difference was a cracked windshield and he had to pay his full deductible, apparently it was 3.5k at the body shop, paint, and buffing, and blending costs money too

I thought it was super high as well but I have no idea about this stuff

I always like to highball, that way when it ends up being less, you feel better about it :P

Yeah I was shocked too lol
07-01-2012
Lol. Good point.

a shop would probably charge like $1500 to do that IMO
i could fix it myself its not hit bad at all
if it were me id go get a written estimate from a shop that does high and expensive quality repairs get the money from the insurance company and fix it myself
but im not sure how insurance works in your state

That's what I was thinking Eddie. It's a few shops out here that do good work. So I was jut hoping I could get the check and then just shop around.
07-01-2012
you should be able to do that, i had a few friends get written estimates real high and then take it to a shop that does good quality work for cheaper
07-01-2012
So do I get to keep the rest of the money?
07-01-2012
yea if they just send you a check you can do what you want with the money and you dont even have to get the car fixed if you dont want, just dont get caught doing that lol
07-01-2012
Lol. I'll keep that in mind. My last car got In an accident and they totaled it. Didn't like the car anyways lol. It was a 2000 cougar, damage didn't look that bad but the work was more than half of the cars value so they totaled it.

Anyone else wanna take a guess?
07-01-2012
insurance would def estimate it at 1k-1.5k. in reality, you could probably get it done for 500-700.
07-01-2012
Sounds about right, that's what I was Guessing
07-01-2012
I got rear ended in my passat a few years back and it dented the trunk and cracked the front bumper and the guys insurance wrote me a check out for $2200 I was super happy I never got it fixed and sold the car a few weeks later for $1500 so I made out really good.
