Default Some jackass hit me...

So I was sleeping yesterday and when I woke up and went out to my car I noticed that some ******* hit me pulling out of the parking space and didnt leave a note or any bull **** so now Im stuck with the cost of fixing it. Anyone know an average price to fix this.

From what I have read on here insurance will total it for that. Sad. Maybe you can get what you need cut off a junk yard car and replace or a painless dent repair?

Ya I called the cops and when the car I thought did it got back, I noticed they have marks on their front right bumper exactly where the cop and me agreed theyd be and at the exact same height but of course he didnt do it. Police are worthless.

Ya the kicker is I dont have collision because I figured I would never do anything to my own car and it would be someone elses fault and they would have to pay for it, never did I figure I'd have some bull like this would happen in the condos. Its the same cars that park here and the truck that parks here every now and then I havent seen since and Im due to take another trip around to try and find it and see if it has any of my paint on it. guess Ill be adding collision once I get this fixed.

Well i happen to have a dent (also scraped down to the bare metal) in my rear quarter panel near the taillight and i was charged $900 from a local paint shop. A good amount of the price was for labor since the rear bumper has to be removed in order to remove the quarter panel. I didnt check with insurance either.

I would say your's might be in the same price range. Are you gonna go with insurance? And there's no damn way they total your car for that, theres just not enough significant damage to the vehicle.

Your right someone does need and *** beating but its nothing but old people in here and id kill one of em before the fist got near their face. And unfortunately insurance aint gonna cover ****. Im gonna check with the Home Owners Association and see if theyd cover it (ive heard some HOA's cover vehicle damage if parked on their ground in in your driveway.) Its a long shot but cant hurt to try, And on a side not, you would think that an old person who lives here and is rich would be responsible enough to admit when theyre wrong. but w.e. the point of life is to **** you off.

Also my friends cousin who works in auto body quoted me 300 for a side job for him. I just don't know how accurate that would be since hell have to pull out the dent, do his best to bondo and blend in on the door chip also.

Wow, that sucks! I don't think the car would be totalled. As for the ***** that did it (and didn't own up to it), I'd personally wait a couple months, then dent the crap outta his car. Beating his a$$ would make you feel better, till you get put on charges (even if it is deserved).

definitely wont total for that. To do it right you have to paint the whole qtr and door. Which would mean taking off the stripe and replacing it. And you're right I dont even see it getting up to your deductible. For $1000 you should be able to get it all done right including the decal.

Has he seen it? Once he see's it, he can give you a better idea of a price but being a side job. He will still charge you less then what he would going through the company.

And i cant tell from the photo's that well but it doesnt really look like the paint is chipped on the door. Might be able to just buff that part out.
