What's this gonna cost me?

Was distracted and had a little accident this morning. Thankfully no one hurt and no other vehicles involved but what's this going to cost to repair? Hoping not to have to involve insurance.

 

Your deductible or $2-$3k

 

deductible is $500.00

I was thinking $2,000. the area of impact isn't that big but several parts come together there. Going to get an estimate probably this afternoon.

 

You don't have to involve insurance if you're willing to pay

It's going to cost a fender +

 

Agree... Body shops have to replace, so it almost doesn't matter how badly the affected parts are damaged.

 

Yeah fender for sure, Fender flare and probably the front bumper cover. I'm really pissed at myself over this one.

 

Check that headlight really good for broken mounting tabs.

 

The headlight seems to be fine, not moved or loose but you're right it could be damaged too.

 

I reared a minivan doing 5mph and it damaged the bumper, grille, and one headlight.

 

OP, without knowing the labor rates, tax rate, paint/materials cost, etc, no one can tell you how much that's going to cost. Also, the fender and bumper cover appear to be repairable based on what's visible. They may not be, depending upon what damage can't be seen without removing the headlamp, flare, and bumper cover from the truck, but they do not have to be replaced simply because they were damaged.

 

I wasn't sure the bumper cover could be repaired and refinished or not. Good to know that might be possible. I just realized the fender is been pushed back that I am sure the front passenger door is not going to open without causing addition damage. I know a good body shop that I've used in the past that has done good work at fairly reasonable cost before. I'm going to see what they say.

 

Definitely do not open the passenger door. Right now, the door is likely a blend panel if the fender is repairable. If you open the door and scratch it on the fender, the door will need repair as well.

 

OUch! I don't think I was going 5mph but tagged the the corner of a garage in the back alley.

Yeah for sure not going to try that.

If nothing this all is going to help me know what to ask and be sure they look at when I get an estimate.

 

My guess is $2,500. Unless you do the work yourself, it's hard to drive away from a body shop these days under two large.

 

If you are quick on decision you have one more day to get genuine parts that need replaced at nearly 45% off MSRP from some online YOTA dealerparts running the MD sale
Could be no extra shipping as well on any parts not oversized

 

Fun that's almost exactly my auto loan balance too.

 

Now you have an excuse for a 4th Gen face lift.

 

I paid $1300 cash for a new front bumper cover to be painted to match and installed.

 

I don't like the 4th gen Grille so i'll pass on that on that idea. just want it back to good again. plus it doesnt look like I need a grille or the grille surround

 

Did that include the bumper cover?
