Damn Shawn, I really hate to see this for you.

Hope it all works out in the long run. Good luck dude.

If you need an estimate for insurance let me know... Ron Mohr Restoration is 2 doors down and we have North East P&B across the street.

Kind of funny being a bodyman recommending the dealership.
I have 3 brother-in-laws that have body shops. They would never recommend the dealer over an independant..

Wife had a fendor bendor and we took to the dealership... That was the worst ******* work I have ever seen done.. We had to take the car back 3 times to get them to get it right.. And they kept telling me they had their best guy on it.

I personally would go somewhere else.. Maybe find a place that will not report the repairs, so carfax is clean..


IMO.... I could recommend... lmk.
its in plano and they do some freakin awsome work. They repaird my 03 mustang GT that was t-boned, and this baby looked good after they were done. You would not ever think it was t-boned...

this is all IMO...

sorry to hear that also, that you got hit... freakin texas drivers.

Shawn... damn it that sucks!!!
What insurance Company does the girl use? Also, what insurance do you have? I have a friend that is an adjuster for State Farm... As well as an Attourney in Denton that you "may" consider contacting.

Was there a Police report? Was the girl cited? did you refuse medical attention.. It's NOT too late..

PM me and i'll enlighten you...

Could not have happended to a nicer WS6!!! Or a nicer guy!

That sucks ton's!!!

dude you should of gotten out of the car and hit the ground with some back issues and necks issues...
Not to of pushed it too far, but hell if you could of gotten 3 or 4 grand from the girls insurance company, would of been some nice extra cash to put into car after it was fixed.

My buddies were in a car that got slammed from a red light runner.. they went to hospital, then got checks from the insurance company. Each one got around 3 grand...

They had just dropped me off.... dammit...

Well, if they hadn't of dropped you off, then maybe they wouldn't have gotten hit by the red-light runner.

Shawn... the day you pick it up plan the time to take it right over to my shop. We'll pick it up and take a long look around. That is a big estimate and lot's of work will be done.

Let's make sure it get done right the first time.

Yep, I always have a close look and make sure a buddy of mine who is good with this stuff comes over to check it out shortly after.

I have never had a car done right the first time. It just doesn't happen.
