Default Update on Wrecked V

Well, I got an email from my guy at the bodyshop today. In total, the repair will cost around $9,000. They said it will take about 5-6 weeks give or take. Now I'm concerned that there is some severe damage i.e frame and/or motor. Say your prayers at night for my V boys. We will both need them. I have a bad feeling this car is never going to feel right again.

My family has operated a body shop for years, and on the side we buy,fix and sell late model salvage vehicles. It all depends on the quality of workmanship. If they take their time and do it right, you won't be able to tell the difference. Where was your car hit, and how hard?

FastKat is right, im an automotive painter and no matter how hard your car was hit if its fixable and you take it to someone who knows what they are doing, then you should have no worries.
