Was having lunch friday and came out to THIS...
 

FML. Escalade Vs Rachel's SC400. Escalade +1, SC4 -0. Thankfully the dude left his insurance info. Got a nice estimate for 1800$ hahaaa. :)

And you know the whole time the parking system in the Escalade was beeping its ass off!

EXACTLY! Like seriously... Ugh I was soooooo LIVID. Until I walked around to my windshield and found his info. I was seriously about ready to kill someone.

Damn, $1800?!?! Buy a $250 bumper, have it painted for $250, and keep $1300.

Oh man, that sucks.. At least you got his info. I agree you need to do the work yourself and get paid..

lucky the person who hit you was decent enough to do that. i've been hit 3 times while my car was parked and its always a hit and run.

Forreal. I have this huge dent on my fender from a truck backing up into it at work. Co-workers lacked the knowledge of writing the plates down and now Im stuck with the repairs :cry:

damn!! that sucks. well...good excuse to sell your car now huh? lol

I had something similar happen to my Civic years ago. I worked in one of those instore banks inside Kroger (for the most reviled bank in the news right now) and Kroger never changed their tapes. I managed to "convince" them that the repairs to my vehicle were a hell of a lot cheaper than bad publicity of a lackluster security system.

Interestingly enough, the store closer a few years ago and I heard last year that another Kroger in metro Atlanta had an armored car robbery. And guess what? No working cameras/malfunctioning system- can we say lawsuit, boys and girls?

Good Luck, Rachel. We're all counting on you. (Sorry, couldn't resist).

sucks, but glad that it was not a hit and run.. gl on the repairs

You MUST be joking that they gave you $1800 for THAT....

Can you file an insurance claim for small rock chips too? Ask your company if they pay out $50 per chip.... lol

You're lucky, someone hit and ran my other car few weeks ago..

Wow, I wouldn't even replace that bumper. Clean it out, fill the cracks with epoxy, sand, prime, paint.

Im not surprised at all, body shops are one of the most corrupt and overpriced services out there.

This is very easy, you buy a used bumper, you install it and you get it painted for no more then $200.00.

Did they get the spoiler too?
