Rude awakening..

Sorry man. That looks bad but not enough to total it. Definitely worth fixing. Probably 6 to 7 thousand dollars. My experience with something similar though not the same exact cause when a tree fell on my Jeep after an ice storm in 2014 was about the same amount of damage and the Jeep was worth less than our trucks are is they will fix it. My incident was covered under comprehensive insurance but yours was a hit and run collision so they will probably use your uninsured/under insured coverage if you had that or your collision coverage to pay for the damages. Your best off with the first as collision claims will Definitely require payment of your deductible.

 

Key word here is 'Good'.
My experience over the years they are few and far between.
I long for the days when people took more pride in their work than the dollars they received.

 

Cruse the neighbor hood and look for red paint. Maybe a good ideal to get the cops involved. I agree with the body shop guy that's reparable, with the equipment they have now they can do some real magic.

 

Yes agreed the days are gone these pieces of shit care about quality.

 

Want to fix it don't go there.
