I used to work for an insurance company and my suggestion, don't go through your insurance, file the claim under his insurance. I don't know how many people know this but yes, YOU can file a claim on HIS insurance. That way you avoid your insurance altogether. Claims on your insurance policy, even if nothing was paid out, do effect your rates (given enough instances). so file the claim through HIS insurance.

haha but if you go back up towards chinatown, i'll guarantee you'll see a ton of austin powers there. By that i mean they force their way into a spot when they parallel park. They'll hit the car in front of them and push them foward a bit then reverse and hit the car behind them and slowly they'll nudge their way in. It's pretty funny watching them do it. They don't care! that's why i never dare to park my car there. Of course i'm not just referring to chinese people, i've seen everyone else do it there. It's like a common thing. Now when i drive through there with the camry i see all these cars with rubber bumpers stuck onto their front and back bumpers. It's kind of amazing how they do it in plain public site and no one else cares about it.

Well i called the guy and see if he wanted to settle it, and he goes how about u go to my mechanic. It's his friend. I was like UMM NOOO This is my new car and i trust only MY mechanic and this is the estimate he gave me. He said i'm out of my mind and crazy, and told me to go through insurance. OH well guess i have no other choice. Going to wait for the police to give me the report so i can go through insurance.

My mother in-law (outlaw) put a 2" scratch in my bumper 3 days after I bought the car and said " Its a car, it's going to get scratches" I was so pissed I packed up my kids and left their house on the spot!
She never appologized, nothing ....I had it fixed or touched up..
I feel your hate man

dang... what retarded people there are in the world....
I hope the fill in they do doesn't crack in a year... and I hope the paint they put on won't be a completely dark black color... I like the Tarmac black with a little shiney blue peices in it..

nah paint less dent removal is done with special metal rods that work the dent out from behind the panel ive seen some good size dents come out unnoticed....im not sure if it went through your paint or not its possible it could then be wet sanded and buffed out. IF you still need paint work id still recommend the paint less dent removal b/ there will be less overall bondo used on the door itself. Most bodyshops have a person that do the dent removal just ask about it
