So on Saturday I bumped into the back of a giant suv. I had just rolled down my windows and I had a hella
Bad sneezing fit. On about the 7th sneeze I was almost @ a stop and the lady in front of me slammed on her brakes for
Whatever reason, so I bumped into her @ roughly 3-5mph.

She has a scratch on her bumper, and my whole front grill is pushed in, and my hood has a crease.

On my way home after that I had an old *** lady bump into the back of me on the 101. She knocked my exhaust
off of the exhaust hanger and pushed in my rear bumper in a bit and she bent my lic. plate and the plate frame

Anyway... I just got back from Blakes's, its gonna cost about $3k to fix the front, no estimate for the back yet.
Luckily I have full coverage so it is only gonna cost me about $250.

Best part, now my starry night will be repainted. And I am def getting 3M on the front this go around.

Any good places to get this done at?


I will post pictures later...

 

clear bra? Krinkov?

 

Yeah, if you're talking Clear Bra, either Krinkov or Omega Tintwerks

 

that sucks bro,

it's okay i've had 6 of these minor accidents in the past year.

 

Damn Ryan thats crazy! Talk about a string of bad luck!!

But ya this was just brought up a few weeks ago in SRiC and like 99% of everyone said take it to Krinkov!

Hope it all works out!

 

$3K to repair a 3-5mph collision

As a comparison, I was t-boned in my previous volvo and the whole rear right passenger door was smashed. It cost $2K for repair.

Did your insurance recommend you to one of their preferred shops?

 

Vince @ Omega Tintwerkz is the man to go to, make sure to mention I-club (I think he still gives discounts when you mention it but not 100% sure)

 

All in one day? Bad day.

 

yeah, talk to Krinkov for clear bra

 

Ya, blakes is their number 1 preferred shop. What's nice about USAA, is they really cater to their customers. Its all gonna be oem stuff, no aftermarket crap. OEM hood, OEM bumper, OEM grill.

From what I understand I am getting a new hood, new bumper, and they have to bend the tie rod back. And then paint and everything. Plus I have also opted for the higher rental car coverage so I. Am set there.

The actual total was $2769.23. But this is just the estimate, if the find the foam is crushed or other stuff is broken when the start tearing it apart, obviously it goes up from there.

I will try to post pics before metallica manana. I haven't figured out how to post pics using the droid yet.

 

Yeah usaa is good. Should try to get a shop you can get hooked up at. Get aftermarket front bumper, heh.

 

^^^nah..stock bumper with a simple front lip are the best for a street wrx.

 

a buddy of mine had his car mostly repainted at this one shop. They do body work also and they did one hell of a job getting the car looking really pretty. Not sure of the pricing but here it is:

http://blakesautobody.com/ Blakes Auto Body; They are off N. Dutton in SR.

 

Your wagon has been having such bad luck. Hope all becomes well!

 

They are FU*$%#S worst people i have ever had to do business with :AAAA AAA:: AAAAAAA::AAAAA : :mad 2:
They worked on my girl gti and when she brought the car home her after market bumper fit worse that it did before and the body line gaps were huge compaired the the side they did not fix and when I went in to get them to repair it the said and I quote" it is not our responsibility to make sure the parts fit we just put a oem part on"...... I hate them
