Driveway accident.

I am staying with my parents for a few weeks right now, and I guess they arent used to my car in the driveway. My dad backed into my SVX today with his denali. :( This is the second time this has happened, but the last time was with my moms grand cherokee which isnt as high. When she did it, it just scraped the bumper. My dad managed to crunch in my rear quarter pretty well. The damage is roughly $1100. :( :( :(

Here is the damage to my car:

Here's the damage to my dad's car. There are scratches on the black plastic skid piece, and the trailor hitch cover is snapped off.

Ouch! Just had a similar repair done on the other side. It was a ball shaped puncture right in the middle on the corner. Repaided for $200, put yours looks much hard to pull out if not a new panel?

I hate SUVs. If it had been a car you might have been able to buff it right out.

Anyway, look on the bright side Mike... you didn't spend much on your paintjob, so hopefully you can get the whole thing repainted again for prices the rest of us only dream of. :)

The estimate was for the repair of the panel. and the rear bumper cover. The body shop warned me that if they estimated it for replacment of the panel, the insurance company could end up totaling the car.

Sorry to see that. Did you cry?

That sucks Mike, I am crying with you. Someone good will be able to fix it. It won't be easy though.
How long are you going to be in the area?

Ouch
 
:( . Mike that blows! Might want to try diffindalls out in Manheim. They can do some quality work. I'd at least get some estimates with replacing the whole panel. Granted it'll be pricey but it'll also be difficult to bring that back right and not have rust issues in the future.

Mike - that hurts. Sorry to see that. Hope you can get it fixed soon. :(

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.

Mike, I don't even know what to say. That really sucks. I can see how replacing that panel could total the car, though.

I really hope that they can get it all fixed up for you.
