Damn Expedition got me on 635. So far its at 4k and that's before the door is forced open so probably more. Good thing I know a place that can get me fixed, just probably have to get a salvage title though.

Can't help you for a place in Greenville, but if you were in the Houston area Lane's Hi-tech is good with any car.

Quick rundown.... I was in the far right lane going about 50. Expedition to my left. Rear bumper about my door. 07 Suburban to his left basically even with me. Woman in the suburban lost it, somehow, her front right hit the rear left of the expedition which pushed the *** end of the expedition into my side. Due to my mad driving skills, lol, I kept my car straight and got off of the bridge we were on. The expedition ended up in the far left lane in the HOV. The suburban then side swiped a car hauler. At least everyone had insurance. Happened about noon at Jupiter and 635 west. I already have the claim, estimates, numbers and all that. Waiting on the adjuster. Bad thing is, I already know the car is totaled, mainly because of a door jamb impact, but all the quotes include replacing the door. Funny thing is, according to 2 quotes, replacing the door is 1800?!? The quarter is about 1500 and the rest is stupid ****. The want to replace my Z28 badges (that I took off) and a small tear on the bottom of the front bumper cover. I know I can get a door for a few bucks, and am not worried about the bumper cover. All want is the quarter fixed. But the body shops won't give me a quote for just that. I'll figure something out. I know a guy in bohnam that is an expert at making one car from 2 and not being able to tell the difference. Problem is finding a good quarter.

I am trying my damnest not to get a salvage title. Then my screen name would really be appropriate! Sad thing is, it used to be a really clean car, until I had to start driving 150 miles a day down 30-635-75.

yeah We used to drive up and down 30 635 and 75 every day when i was doing ac/heating. We drove all over, damn traffic, and dumb people who dont know how to drive or dont pay attention all over the place. We went through half a tank of gas a day at least in the work truck drivin from job to job is seemed. Good luck man. Go to dallas around 121 and get one of those shady shops to look at it. Those guys will do anything for you if you have cash.
