I need damage assessment....
Last night my girlfriend's sister backed into my baby. We were at the movies and my girl gets a call from her sister saying she didn't see my car in the driveway and backed into it.
They have a 2 car garage I park on my girlfriend's side of the driveway at the very end... tail was almost in the street I was so far down, how in the world could she not see my car there? 
bumper and fender..... sigh, not cheap..... i assume the headlights and fogs are ok...

I think she was on her way to get some and was real excited. 
She wasn't home when we got back. I think the fog is ok but the headlight lens is scratched so add that on to the total.

Probably $500-800 for a new bumper, repainted. The rest depends on how much work needs to be done on the fender.
Try PM'ing Flipside909...he is an insurance adjuster by trade.

I would have to say right around $2500-$3000 That's with a new fender

I had the same exact damage done to my fender and bumper. If you are willing to find parts yourself, it is 200 each for fender and bumper, and most places quoted me 600 to paint. That's assuming you don't have any damage on the absorber, wheelwell shroud or headlights.

Here we go again, first of all sorry to hear about the accident, but to tell u the truth you are never gonna have a definate answer . You need to go to a few bodyshops and get their estimates. Even in your area they can differ from a few dollars to a few grand. See their finished products to make sure u like their outcome. Look at the quality of the paint,any sand scratches,bubbles etc. see if all the seams match the other side,does it have a nice shine??? Do they guarantee the work??? This is why u will get such different prices. Just shop around...you'll find a happy medium. Also u can call an insurance company and ask who they reccomend. They have shops that they use on a frequent basis and they usually have higher standerds. Hope this helps.
