Default Somebody hit me!

I am devastated. This lady tried to cut in front of me while I was making a left hand turn from Pico on to Sawtelle. Well I have never seen anyone try to cut you from your side but she clipped my right front bumper, the wheel well (is that what it is called?). She did some tire damage.

Anyway, her insurance is paying for everything but where should I take my car? I don't want to go to Keyes Collision Center because they gave me such a bad time when they worked on my 02 GS3.

Any suggestions?

Sorry to hear about the accident...really hate stupid drivers Glad you are ok though.

I took my old GS to Insurance Collision Center in Marina Del Ray (to have the front end repainted ). They did a really good job and the paint match was perfect.

If you do have to get the front end repainted, I'd advise you also getting a clear bra put on. Although the factory paint isn't the greatest, a repainted front end will be more prone to chips. Might as well protect your investment. Good luck.

Damn Man, sorry about that. I live in L.A. too and know exactly where you're talking about.
People on the west side swear they own the road. That knot in your stomach will go away in a few weeks.

And I was just about to complain about a tiny scratch on my door panel . Pales in comparison

Damn that really sucks.. But hey it could be worse.. You could've been lucky like me, within 2 weeks of me getting my 3rd gen I was side swiped by a NYC taxi.. The whole passenger side was fuct... And as you can see it can be fixed... Don't worry it'll be back in great shape before you know it..

let me ask you this: does your dealership have a body shop in-house? If so, I would go that route. I did just that with my last GS and they handled everything nicely, even gave me a loaner for a while. Good luck.
