Whos good a repair estimates...

So went through the local car wash today. One of the ones that you have to put your vehicle in neutral and it rolls through on rollers.. some how my truck came out of the rollers and went backwards through the wash. Messed up the wash, and obviously the truck. Anyone good with estimates on price and time i may be out a vehicle?. Im taking it to Toyota Tuesday for estimates after they get done doing the leaf spring recall. Called my insurance and they are going to take care of it. Waiting on a rep to call me today. The owner of the wash was very civil about it. Just sucks that it happened. I messed up his wash and my truck is messed up. any help appreciated.

 

Dammit. Keep it dirty

 

Guess i will now. hahaha My son was in the truck.. he apparently doesnt like car washes any more...

 

Ouch.....cost shouldn't matter at all. Sounds like the car washes fault.

 

I know that and you know that, but he says the carwash doesnt move in reverse so its not on them.

 

That's going to be lots, i'd guess 3000+.

 

oh my.... let this serve as a lesson for anyone and everyone who lets their vehicle roll through those dirt infested spaghetti's

 

So they are claiming you put your truck in reverse and backed up mid wash?

 

lesson learned here.. i just have my 2YO today bymyself, thought it would be a good day to have it washed but i cant wash and keep him still long enough to do so.

 

yep

 

That's easy then. Most car washes I can easily see the security/safety cameras for the auto wash tunnels. Show me the tape, or show me the $!

 

dam, if I had to take a guess I would say $7,000, subbing for outcome and estimate

 

they did and it does appear that my truck goes in reverse. But the sun is on the tail lights so you cant see if my reverse lights are on or not. i had it in neutral and the workers acknowledged when i went in my truck was in neutral.

 

I'm gonna go with a lot.
Honestly I have no idea. Sorry it happened though!

 

i know the back of the cab is going to be the most trouble im sure. My insurance is going to cover it and the owner of the carwash says hes not pressing charges for my truck breaking the machine or him being out a machine for over a week.

 

I will try that when my son wakes up from his nap. thank you

 

also anyone know about how long this kind of body work would take?

 

I don't know if it's just my taco, but I can shift through my gears without touching the brake. Even when the key is out of the ignition I can take the truck out of P.

 

Your insurance is going to Jack your rates like crazy for it. It he is willing to be so nice and not do anything about his damages, it's because he knows he is at fault.
