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

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).

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

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.
