Default Need to repair car

So I THINK some jackass hit my car or something.

I have a dent and some scrapes on the edge of my right quarter panel, and my right sideskirt needs to be repaired.

I know of one good place but they're kinda expensive. Anyone know of any good people.

I'm guessing the entire quarterpanel and sideskirt will need to be re-painted?

I seriously HATE life right now.

It may sound loony, but Roberts Oldsmobile Jeep down in Auburn has an awesome body shop. I've had 2 cars repaired there (minor stuff like paint, little dings, etc), and they do nice work. It's a little cheaper down there too because rent isn't so pricey as it is in other parts of the city.

Cool.

Fiberblass (fiberglass-reinforced plastic technically) is easy to repair, no?

Meh, go get an estimate first before you decide whether to file a claim or not.

If it's 1k or under, I wouldn't. Most people have a 500 deductible anyway, and it's probably not worth using your 1 freebie for 500 bucks. I'd say if your total out of pocket hits 1.5k or higher, go for it then.

Fiberglass isn't too bad for small stuff. If it's cracked, I think it's become junk at that point in time.

You still in Sammamish? I'm just in Issaquah myself... not far from where IcedoutIS works.

My Sideskirt is fiberglass. Nothing's cracked just scraped and kinda "torn" the surface level that is . . .

Juanita AutoRebuild does by far the best job in Kirkland area IMO. Known a few cars fixed and painted there, and also other places. They could be a bit pricy but work there is top-notch... You should at least get an estimate there..
