this happend.... small dent and a few scrapes.. how much do you guys think this will run me?.. im guessing no more than 200 bucks..accident could have been much worst, thank god this car handles well because it was in a cruve.

 

Ugh did the person stop? I have never actually heard of somebody scraping the other car when getting cut off. I hope you got that person!

 

well look at it this way...it could have been alot worse...o well i guess

 

yeah she stopped, she was really nice.. she cut me off in the curve, she went around me and we were side by side trying to make t he turn but there was no room for the both of us since the road was under construction.

 

you guys didn't exchange insurance information? You should have taken her information, and her insurance would have paid for it. I never let the other person go now, no matter what, and I ALWAYS call the poilice and get a police report to make sure if I was hit, that Im not found at fault. That, and so when the insurance company calls to get your story, and the other persons, there is a written document of what occured.

ANYWHO....

Thats not a real bad scrape, if you have a connection at a body shop, it shouldn't be too expensive. Paint supplies/materials are high as hell at the present time (and only going up), then you have labor, so it might run you a little more than $200 right now.

 

the damge is not bad.. you can barely see it. I didnt report it because if you havent noticed i live in nj and my mom got into a huge accident like 2 months ago.. we dont need our rates going up some more.

 

btw they wanted 530 bucks charging me for 2 days labor... these guys are full of ****... when i know they are just going to let the car sit out for one day and then do 30 min of work.last year they estimated me for 600 for my 04 cavalier with the entire rear quarter panel dented and messed up tailight...

 

I wasn't aware that your mom had a previous accident, I hope shes ok. However, if the lady hit you, your insurance would not go up. You just have to call the police, and get a report, and if she is found at fault, your golden.

Also, the prices you quoted are right around where I expected them. I got hit in the front, and just did some minor damage to my front bumper, and the other womans insurane paid me $594 to get the front bumper repainted. (on my cavalier) Also, my G/F's aunt hit my right rear quarter on my cavalier and dented it, and did some minor paint damage, and her insurance company gave me a little over $600 to have it repaired. (dent man pulled the dents, buffed the paint out.)

Material costs, clear coat costs, and paint costs have risen sky-high. Add all that up, then tack on the whatever the shop rate is (usually $60-$70+$$$) by whatever hourage they charge you to do the job. If you can find someone to do it for less than $500 now-a-days, your lucky.

 

i just had a minor accident and had a new fender put on my car, and the door blended hood blended and the bumper blended it was in the shop for 2 days it cost me a little over 1100 dollars to get fixed..

 

ACTUALLY, in the STATE of NJ, insurance Don't care who's fault it is! So regarless, even if it was her fault, the rates will go up! Where did U get hit man? Where were U driving?

 

i dont know man.. if you were to see the damage up close you would be like forget that.. because you can barely see the damn thing thats how lil dented it is.

 

rt 46 in west in west paterson.. i forget what exit, i knw it was a curv which was under construction.. i think it was by that pontiac dealership down there.

 

hahahaha dude OMG that is going to cost a **** load to fix. I have small tiny ity bity impact scratches from an egg that hit my car the smallest quote you ask? 600 bucks for an area no larger than and inch in diameter

 

i could see that being that much since you got a new fender.. i will take pics in the day for you guys to see.. everyone at work cant even see where i got hit, they laugh at me when i tell them the shop wants 500 bucks...

 

thats my old car.. now picture that whole rear fender with a massive dent all the way to the tail light... that damage was 650 bucks including a new tail light... i got it fixed at a shop in nyc for 300 bucks and that was 2 days labor
