so i was getting ready for weds night drags today, and i went over to safeway to buy food. everything was fine and dandy until i came out and saw my car:








you guys cant imagine how angry i was! it was one thing to hit my car, but to not even own up to it just makes it that much worse.


Does anyone know a good bodyshop and how much you guys think this will set me back? TIA

 

Good god! I hope whoever hit you gets their car stolen and gets trashed. That isnt a small dent either. Sorry to hear about it.

 

may they burn in hell

 

what i dont get is how it took them half of the car length to figure out that they were hitting my car!!!!!!

 

insurance should cover it, well i guess it depends on the coverage you have. Same thing happened to my car, with a little more dmg. Imaging the swipe on your car cept it was right in between both doors. I went to Auto Excellence in Hayward to get it done, Santiago does the work, he's very reasonable. Took about two weeks because he got new door skins from subaru. He uses factory colors and there are no imperfections on the door. He also repainted part of my hood for free removing a lot of rock chips. After this, i went to him to get my sideskirts and cusco front lip painted. Overall, you can't beat his pricing with the job he does. If you decide to go there, tell him henry send ya, oh and i also have PSM so theres no way he's gonna mess up on your color. I'd say call up your insurance, make sure it's covered, then call up santiago. Let me know how it goes.

 

hmmmm 30 mile an hour backup speed for the win.... ouch ****ty luck bro..

 

thanks for the info man, i might just go talk to him tomorrow. i have full coverage, but i dont want my insurance to go up anymore than it already is. if i claim it will it raise my insurance rates?

 

im thinking that somone was tryin to cut through the parking spaces instead of going around them and hit me. i usually park kinda far away. there was a dodge caravan parked next to me on that side, but i cant really prove that was the car that hit me.

 

no it wont raise your insurance, i specifically asked the insurance agent multiple times fearing the same problem. She said that since there were no prior claims like this, it wouldn't. Just so long as you dont go claiming a hit n run every year, the insurance wouldn't raise your rates. oh I have AAA by the way.

PS. I guess i didn't mention it in the above post, but the deductible for me was 500 (still it's based on your plan with your insurance company), but judging from the dmg. It'll be more than that to get it repaired.

 

yea my detuctible is the same and i have never claimed a hit and run before. Just super pissed about all this mess. on monday i got a minor scracth on the door and now the whole door is f*cked up

 

well i guess thats less stress about the first scratch right?

 

hahaha... this just added to it. I wouldnt have been as mad if the person would have left their info or something, but they decided to run away like a b*tch instead.

 

I feel your pain, mine wasnt hit n run. is was straight ***** ****. they shot my car w/a rocks from a sling shot. broke my rear window and put a good size dent in the car. total cost was just shy of 2k.

 

dang that is no minor dent either, sucks bro. goodluck with that

 

man that sucks...i always park in an empty section, but if i park next to someone if i have to, i'll bust out the cameraphone and take their license plates down.
