LOL, you know I was going to photoshop JUST that but wasn't sure if that was you or not. (Didn't want to disrespect on a fellow member )

It looks like whoever backed up into you only got the door. Unfortunate event, but at least the work was straightforward for the body shop? Quick turnaround?

No actually they need to stop driving while they are talking on their phones.

hehe no problem on the pic, I thought the idea was funny

took them a week to fix - had to order a new door brace and panel, then took a couple days to paint

they did a perfect job - flawless

in my case, it was just the door and nothing else - almost amazing it worked out like that



what was funny when the accident happened is the girl kept telling me how she loved my car. She called her husband: "honey I crashed into a Z......I know I love those cars too"

Back in highschool, my mom would back out on all my friends who parked at our house. Door dents, broken corner headlamps, cracked turn signals....

Eventually all my buddies would park up or across the street everytime they came over.

RENO that estimate seems really high..I don't think they'll have to replace that quarter panel. I've seen similar repairs in the $2k range.

the bill as of now is $3783.20 plus $1406.97 for a rental car while repairs are being made. the bodyshop also has to do a minor pull on the frame as well which is included in the estimate. this is a nightmare. two body shops looked at the car and the first which a friend of mine runs said the panel is toast but if i wanted they could rework the panel and use a bunch of filler etc not recommended but said it was possible. a lot hours involved and pretty mickey mouse as opposed to replacement. the friend who runs the other shop gave me a preliminary estimate at 2500k which he said would definately go up with supplemental etccc.. all the repairs thus far have been approved by the girls insurance and i received the rental car check today. the body shop doing the repairs does all the repairs for the near by nissan dealership as well as several others dealers close by. they were highly recommeded and very professional so far. two courtesy calls this week with repair progress and up dates. the completion date is set for the 23rd or sooner
el guy: no i was not at the mazda challenge
