So last night, my car got hit and it appears that the driver fled the scene. Now I'm left with a big dent on the rear quarter panel and repair bills. It happened at my work place where surveillance cameras were in place so security is going over the video as I speak. If they make out the license plate, they will press charge against the driver. And if everything goes well, provided that he/she has insurance I'll be reimbursed with the cost. In the mean time, I'd like to find auto shop that does great work. From looking at the previous threads, it seems that JL auto body is the place to go. However, my insurance agent told me that he'll only pay what he thinks the damage is worth, so he might not pay me enough. I'll update this thread as I go through the process.







From what I can make out, an SUV or truck reversed into my car. Why drive something if it's too big to control?

T.K.O.

Sorry to hear about that. Did you see what happend to mine in my visiting hawaii thread? I posted some pics on page 5.

Joel at JL is good. I've used him before. However, I can almost guarantee you that your insurance will not pay you what Joel will charge. Your damage doesn't look that bad so you probably wont be short too much. Maybe just a few hundred off.

is there anyway you could push out the dent from the inside??? i could help you get it out enough so the the body shop wont charge you for popping the dent. i did my own body work but...................its not 100% perfect i used a heavy body filler, i should've used a lighter one :/ hope all goes well man that really really sucks.

You can try Tech One or even Acme. My Audi is at Tech One getting worked on. If you go to Tech One ask for Ryan. Sucks about your car I just hate when peeps damage your car then dig out. I hope they got them on survellance.
