i have a ms paint rendition of the accident, and pics of my car
i didnt know i was too close. i hit a silver civic, no one was hurt, and my insurance is paying for it.

 

pics don't work.

*edit* They did the second time around.

 

how much do u think it will cost?

 

WOW! that sucks..where did the red paint come from? That the base coat?

 

ouch, i dont' know how much it will cost but i do know that they will have to order and replace the whole panel (cutting and wielding the new one on). Thats what they did when my car got hit in the rear.

Also make sure that once the car is fixed that they put all the panels, inside the car, back as they should have been. I would take some before pictures just in case.

 

You don't have any cracks in the paint or serious gouges. A Paintless Dent Removal guy could take care of 80-90% of that. I had a dent much more severe than any of those and got it smoothed out for $125. Definitely look into it-- beats paying a deductable or bodyshop prices. At a shop, you're looking at (I would guess) the $1200 neighborhood for that.

 

Doesn't look like they were going to fast (thank god), not too much damage. That was almost the same as my first accident, except I sideswiped the other person.

 

as long as no one was hurt.... =]

 

rofl, you do realize HE was the one who hit the other car, rite?

doesnt look like HE was going too fast... haha, look at the ms paint pic cant you see???

 

yea i was going about 10 mph. the first thing we did after the accident is go to the police station. so i guess i have to pay the deductible, which is only 250

 

At least you hit a Civic.

Just joking, It doesn't look too bad.
At least you admitted it was your mistake.

 

That'll buff right out

Sorry to hear that. Since it's an insurance job... great time to check out a ground effects kit.

 

That will indeed cost about $900-$1500 to fix. The door scrape I would just leave as, or take it to a place that does dent repair. I wouldn't replace the door.

I'm glad it was a minor thing and nobody got hurt.

Live and learn, Steve. I hope insurance doesn't bend you over too hard.

 

you hit a parked car ..... ?!?!?!?!?

 

sorry man.

 

Ouch, hope you get that fixed. Glad to hear no one got hurt.

 

From the damage I see in the pictures, I think a paintless dent technician would have a very hard time getting the body straight in some areas. There seems to be some stretched material that would be hard to smooth out. I see some lead or bondo filler, and even some cutting and patching needed in some areas (by the wheel well).

Good luck on the fix. Hope it turns out perfect!
