I do feel for you, My garage took a bite out of Sally when I still had paper plates on her. I was mad, but nobody got hurt, except my pride and my wallet. I love my HHR and My wife still ribs me about that one. Glad nobody was hurt. I had to drive around with a broken wing for a few days too.

 

You will get some calls from some lawyers that are not legit. They will call and make it sound as if you have to call ASAP in some offical capacity. They are frauds.

IF they give a name or number google it first and it will save you some grief. I lived by caller ID for over a month to not have to deal with these folks.

If you need a lawyer go to one do not take up with one that contacted you first.

Most are out for them and not you.

 

I know the feeling, my 07 was sideswiped by and eighteen wheeler when it was less than a year old. I took it to a shop I trusted, and knew did great work. Ten days later I picked it up, and its perfect. Paint matches to a tee, you could never tell anything ever happened to it. That was almost two years ago, and its still pristine looking. It can be done if you take it to the right shop.

 

Laco, we are both in southern California. What shop did you go to?

 

I feel your pain, mine was totaled by an idiot last week.

 

J&S In Glendora! He has been there for about 30 years, and does absolutely the best body repair work I have ever seen. He deals with your insurance company for you, and negotiates for genuine parts, or in some cases after market, if he knows they are better parts, not ususally any panels etc.

 

After seeing what my totaled '08 VR SS looked like in January after the wreck, I was damn glad to see it crumpled - instead of me.

It sucks to have a car with a big dent in it - but think about the extra impact energy that would have been transferred to the back of your seat - if that part of the car had not absorbed it first...

Losing my car after just 5,000 miles was pretty hard to take at first - until I put things in perspective and realize it was better it then me and my wife...
