Guess how much...

I'd like to charge $2500 for an easy job that only cost me $400 in materials.

 

So typical hit and run dirt bags. Having been on the receiving end of several myself, I am not surprised. People suck.

 

Happened to my daughters car earlier this year. She has a Mazda 3 and hers was quite expensive to repair.

 

Yup. Little cars crumple. Great for surviving an accident, terrible for trying to fix.

 

Part out! Sorry for your loss OP








DIBS on the wheels

 

I would second this find a good PDR guy too straighten out the part you don't cut.

 

$2,532.76?

 

5k to get where it was before the collision.

25k for a new flat bed and canopy fully loaded.

 

I was in a 2016 Mazda 3 before getting my Tacoma; nice enough car, but some of the crappiest steel I've ever seen on a car. The number of dings and dents those doors picked up was disheartening.

 

Normal.
I was quoted about the same a few years ago for a similar damage to the panel.

 

Looks like a panel, fender flare, and a decal. Chances are it even missed the brace.

As far as hits go, that was a clean one at least.

 

Amazing... not a scratch in the paint.

Dude, stop crashing you truck to collect the insurance money. At least make it look like an accident . Posting pictures to see how much you should get is a dead giveaway.

 

no, shit… more than half the damage would get sawed off, pound out the rest and carry on.

 

Yeah, the impact was directly on the fender flare. there's actually a hole punched through the sheet metal behind it.
its odd.

 

lol
I posted after I knew...

 

If i could afford all the other upgrades involved, like bigger tires, and gears etc. i would be in!

 

What kind of wimp pulls the bed to replace a bedside. Maybe if you want to bill additional hours.

 

That is nice. Not to crazy. But you can always get another quote.

we have an accord that got hit in the quarter panel. First quote was like $1700 or so, and the shop that actually fixed it….they charged the insurance company about $7400
