hit and run, ouch.





happened the same day i got rear ended...
anyways this happened while i was at work, and i wasnt there to see it it looks like a pickup truck backed up into it and something square shaped pushed it.

anyone have a guess on how much it'll cost to get it fixed? lol..

If you were at work.. Id look around the parking lot tomorrow.. Bring a tape measure... if ya fined anyone with a tow hitch like that measure from the ground up on both your car and the tow hitch and see if ya can fined the same height.. If you do than search for signs of the collision... IE white paint on the hitch Than take Pics!!! To seal the deal see if your work or any place around has video surveillance on the parking area than call the cops..

Or I suppose you could pm me your Vin# and I can shoot you back an estimate. What insurance company do you have? Usually hit and run claims don't affect your premiums so you may want to consider filing an insurance claim. I'd guess that a new bumper cover and absorber at least, and possibly the bumper reinforcement. Even with the "I-club" discount, I'd guess the repairs would be around $800 or so. You can always call me at the shop if you have any questions or need help with the claim.

i dont have full coverage though, i was actually gonna get it next month...so im not covered for hit and runs. but daamn, $800...getting a replacement bumper sounds cheaper? anyways thanks for the help brandon. might just leave it as is, maybe slap a sticker over it

The $800 seems to be a pretty good price for a new bumper cover, absorber & reinforcement. Adding in the paint and labor, I'd say you're getting a good deal. Parts alone would run you about $500-$600. You could just browse the classifieds and be lucky enough to find someone getting rid of their front bumper the same color as yours.

Good luck
