go get 3 estimates and pick the middle one and then use the price of the lower estimate that way you get some extra money.

Should you get more money to fix other scrapes???

Soooo, you think this person owes you $$$ to fix damage inflicted by someone else (maybe even damage YOU caused!!).

This person owes you for the damage THEY caused, not a penney more!!! Don't be greedy..... 'Cuz greedy people SUCK!!!!

sorry ken it was his mistake because my car was parked. The cop even told me he should get his license taken away. Your right i won't be greedy i just want enough to cover the scrape. ALSO something interesting is that this guy that hit my car parked has hit two other parked cars before and this guy lied to me saying the reason he made a harsh turn is because of traffic in the school parking lot( thing is i got to school five minutes late and there was no car in site, so how can there be traffic when he got there 10 minutes later than me.) Your right ken greedy people suck so do liars. Also i don't want to be greedy anymore because if i do it's considered bad karma so thats out, i just want enough to cover the scrape.

There are too many idiots with drivers lisences these days.... As someone said earlier- get 3 bids from GOOD body shops and make him pay for what he did. I used to work in a body shop "back in the day"... good body work/paint ain't cheap.

I thought Karma only mattered here in NorCal... Dig the groove man! Damn, I really miss the early '70s.

Good luck with the repairs.
