Help! Well today i went out in my camaro to give a ride to my sisters friend. Long story short i ended up wrecking the car. I stopped punched it and it fishtailed a little then a lot more than i could handle. i ended up in a ditch kinda and over an old fence. i got pretty lucky really everyone was fine and it ended up being just deep scratches and a dent in the panel under the door. i live 20 miles south of indy and would like some info on any reputable body shops in the indianaplois area. i have pictures of the damage but no idea how to put them on here. if i could email them to someone and they post them up that would be great. thanks for any help.

It's pretty hard to lose control of these cars from low speeds (I'm assuming low speed since it sounds like this happened right after you punched it from a dead stop).

well i have to figure out who to take my car to. i dont know a lot about body shops so i kinda need some advice. i went to two places already. the gm dealership said 1700 and the other is a local place called Brother's Paint and Body. That place seemed a little messy and just not a well run place. GM body shop looked pretty good and they seemed like good guys. any advice on whether or not to u se GM would be great. thanks

ya it is cosmetic. the nose and driver door is all scraped up and the rocker is dented and is down to bare metal in a fist sized spot. deductible is only 500 and my first claim isnt going to count against my premiums.
