Default Car Accident

Must have been Navy guys that did that but it doesn't look like a total to me guess the estimator will know better.

Dang sorry to hear. They hit it right at the line too. Is it just me or does the dent remind you guys of a pair of red lips.

I had a similar dent fixed in the same spot for $700 from a local guy. They did a pretty good job too for me. Just depends on who you know I guess.

Did that estimate involve bondoing the quarter panel, or cutting it out and replacing it?

I had quotes from the lexus reccomended bodyshop for $2200 for the quarterpanel replacement and $1500 to just pull it out and bondo it up.

One of the worst spots to get a dent on our cars, in my opinion.

What were they driving with their eyes closed? That is a pretty huge dent. I hope the party responsible for this is planning on taking care of it. New paint job!
