That's LAME! The deer probably ran away bec he didn't have insurance.

If I were you get on YELP and check for body shops in ur area that have good raitings. Or ask ur lex dealership who they use and take it there yourself. GL man

Ouch.. If I got a scratch within the first few months I would cry pretty hard.. If the damage exceeds your deductible from car insurance and is less then $1000 to repair, I would suggest going throu your insurance. Rates typically dont raise up (Carrier dependant) unless the repair total was less then $1000 and a fender should just be under that. Just my opinion from past experiences I had with my last car, someone backed into me when I got my Equinox new 6yrs ago (about 8days after delivery).. Good Luck !!

Could have been alot worse. My 6th day driving to work i was rear ended, by an unlic driver. Luckily for me he was driving a company truck that had ins. This caused 8k in total damaged, and i ddnt get it back till a month and a half later.
