Alright guys so I was coming home from my sister in law's birthday bbq and was traveling southbound on foothill in hayward to my house. Im at a red light, first car behind the limit line. I get the green light and wait a few seconds before going forward.

BAM!

Dude runs a red light in a chevy tahoe clipping my front end nearly t-boning me. Now we're both in the middle of the intersection and im like WTF just happened. I see the tahoe pulling into c street (on oncoming traffic, since c street is a one way street) I didn't want another hit and run incident so I followed going towards oncoming traffic and they pulled over to the side. I step out my car and told them to pull into the parking lot in the side. We pull over and luckily a witness came through and helped me out.

Long story short I got everything reported. Dude didn't have a drivers license and tried switching spots with his wife but i saw them and ratted them out and now my front end is damaged.


Here is my question for i-club.. What is a good body shop to take my car into that is willing to work with me.. I want to get sedan fenders and a sedan bumper to replace my damaged parts.

and here is one quick picture. thanks in advance.

 

ouch. good thing you got them. there are a few threads around here that suggest some great body shops. hopefully you get things worked out!

 

taken from a few threads:

 

oh yea so i was driving the car home with my parents following behind. and my hood flew back and hit my windshield and i couldnt see anything. that was pretty damn scary. good thing i was able to look through the void under where the hood connects and pull over to the side of the road and tie it to my bumper.

 

hey thanks man i appreciate it! hopefully I can find a shop that wont have problems getting sedan parts for me.

 

holy crap, i can't imagine what i would have done if that happened. kudos on being able to react quick enough to the situation!
no problem. hope you can get your car back up quickly. good luck!

 

man that sucks! im glad your ok, that could have been a lot worse... good luck with everything!

 

+1 for apex. ive mentioned it plenty of times and ill still preach on how well the take care of your car. as a matter of fact, i might be dropping mine off with Paul for some more work.

 

+1 for apex.

 

Damn this is horrible, lmk which on you're deciding so we can both check it out

 

If you are near Fairfield, I highly recommend American Autobody Specialists. They do some of the best work I've seen + the owners are stand up people.

 

frack! your bugeye was hella clean too.

 

Ouch man sorry to see that but I'm glad you're okay!

You can NEVER go wrong with apex auto body. Paul is THE man you must ask for. He will take care of your car. I've been very skeptical about taking my car to many body shops after I got THE WORST body work and paint job done, but after I read about Apex Auto Body on Yelp, I had to see what they were all about. Surprisingly enough, their prices were reasonable, but not cheap, definitely not that. BUT it is like the saying goes, "You get what you pay for." And because I always come back along with many referrals, I get a really good deal now, which is awesome in itself. If you want quality work without breaking your wallet, definitely go here.

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR CAR!!! such a pain to see.

 

Damn that sucks, I used Oakland Auto Body and Repair last time. They did a marvelous job on my car and has lifetime guarantee on parts and work done.
