I was recently side swiped by a car pulling out of the parking spot next to me at the mall.... and the biznatch bailed.

anyway, there's a dent, and some scratches in the paint..

I filed a claim and what not with insurance, and I only have to pay 200 bucks (deductible)

this is for
-dent pulling
-repainting, clear coat etc.
-life-time guarantee (as long as you own your vehicle blah blah blah)


can anywhere else do this job for cheaper, with quality?

btw, this is the insurance company's service center... so. I don't know what they're like. they're estimate came out to a little over 500 bucks.

thoughts?

thanks

 

So you're trying to get the damage repaired and repainted for less than the $200 deductible? Or are you trying to get it done for less than the $500 quote you got? It's pretty much impossible to diagnose sight unseen though, so either way you're going to have to get someone to take a look at it..

 

yeah,i know. I already took it to the service center to have it looked at, and the estimate he gave me was 503 and some change. I only have to pay 200 bucks....but i'm not sure of the quality of work insurance service centers do..

 

A relative of mine does this kind of thing here in VB, PM if you want details.

 

Take it to another shop and get an estimate.. There usually isn't any reason that you can't choose anyone you want to do the repair work once you get the insurance payout.

 

ok so they gave you 503 with a 200 deductable so really the repair is 703 dollars...your trying to get out of paying the 200...i can prolly work with you on the deductible...come see me and bring the car and the estimate....410 salters creek rd

200 deductible means i only pay 200 out of pocket.

 

no kidding...when they write an estimate at the bottom it says total...xxxx
minus deductible...xxxx
total check xxxx


what do those three figures say???

 

total labor: 372.00
Total replacement costs: 14.00
Total Additional costs: 117.60
Gross Total: 503.60

Total adjustments 200.00-

Net Total: 303.60

that what you're looking for?

 

ok thats better..bring the car by my shop and ill see if i can fix it for the 300 and save you the deductible...410 salters creek rd
