I took my car to my insurance adjuster today since the person who hit me denies he is at fault.... The adjuster was telling me that the rear quarter panel is the most difficult thing on a car to repair. Said something about having to cut a piece out to fix Since I do not know much about this issue, what has been the experience of NELOC members on quarter panel repair?

Oh, I take my car to Lindsay Collision in Alexandria on Monday
Before....


After...

 

there just gonna replace the bumper, and bang out that quater panel. you dont need to cut out anything

 

Loks like most of the damage was taken by the bumper, in which case like June Is stated, they will have to replace. The panel took a little bit of a crease at the very bottom and will be easy for them to bang out and re-straighten. Paint is not even broken on the panel, so very little worries here. The adjuster is right though,, the quarter panel is one of the most difficult to replace b/c you DO have to cut the car. It is consistent of the body panel just under your tail lights (on the side of the car), above your bumper, and this molds into your roofline, wheel well etc. You dont have to worry about them cutting, b/c your bumper took most of the damage.
