Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I was t-boned by a uninsured driver yesterday, I need a good reliable repair shop to bring my boxster back to how she was. Preferably close to Corona, N Orange County as possible!
I didn't have a shovel with me, so I let the police handle it for me! JK! Believe me the thought crossed me mind, I'm still decompressing! In all reality, no one was hurt, the car is replaceable, just irks me to no end!
Sorry to hear, I just went through this with damage to the same location. Mine was not as bad and they had to replace the rad and AC condenser. Ran $5,400 yours will be more as it looks as if your head light is damaged.
Good luck and keep us updated.
Glad to hear you are not hurt
Our cars are really well made and do a good job of protecting the driver and passengers
I know a great body shop here in San Diego that specialises in high end cars. They always have a few Ferrari, Porsche and lambos in their shop.
In OC, I don't know. I would call HRG ans ask for a recommendation. they are in Lake Forest
Hergesheimer Motor Sports - The most comprehensive Porsche service and race shop in Orange County.Home
. They can do any mechanical repairs needed
@Slate 01; Didn't they pass a law that made it legal for illegals to drive!
I still don't get what part of illegal is legal! The person that hit me was legal, I think? They had a drivers license? Now wait,....... that's right illegals can have drivers licenses, just don't need insurance!!! What the heck!
When my neighbor backed into my quarter panel I asked my indy mechanic for a good body shop he sent me to technology auto collision in orange. They did a great job matching and blending the paint and used very little body filler
operating a vehicle without insurance is illegal and if police are called a summons requiring a court appearance will be issued at a minimum, regardless of their legal resident status. The police who respond in many jurisdictions, Florida jumps to mind, can arrest the uninsured driver and have the car impounded. At which point their legal status would be determined and bail refused as they were deemed either "danger to the community or pose a risk of flight", the standard for bail. If the local police who arrested the uninsured driver suspect the driver of being an undocumented immigrant they can alert the immigration officials who will place a federal detainer on the uninsured drivers's release to begin deportation proceedings. The federal government routinely deports undocumented aliens as a consequence of these very vehicular accidents, often so promptly that their kids are still at home without any adult supervision and must be monitored by social services.
Point being, it all depends on whether you called the police and how they handle it. Illegals are not sanctioned to drive without insurance whether the state provides them with driver's licenses or not. And they have a strong motivation to carry insurance because if they are deported as consequence of a car accident or a bench warrant for failing to appear in court over a previous car accident, re-entering the country after a likely deportation in those cirumstances is a felony, assuming they are stopped for driving without insurance a second time, which will result in a lengthy federal prison sentence which they will serve in full without the possibility parole... after which they will be deported and often with long stays in a prison until their second, more complicated deportation is processed.
Some states along the border simply do not have the manpower to process every undocumented immigrant formally and simply load them onto a bus back to their country. Processing every single undocumented worker caught this way (over two million by my last read) would require a drastic increase ($$$$) in immigration officers, jails and clerical staff. And we already have more immigration officers be it inspectors or border patrol agents than all law enforcement agencies combined. It's a bigger force than just about any South American military, except for possibly Colombia who are at war with the heavily funded FARC terrorist rebels.
I'm going to guess that you're damage is about $9K. It would have been higher if you had HID litronics instead of halogens.
Push for them to replace both headlights as they will not match if you have one old one and one new one. In your situation I would ask for a check that you would receive based on an estimate from a shop of your choosing. This instead of having the shop paid directly by the insurance, these shops will send a very inflated estimate in that case and it could result in an increase to your insurance as they try to get the money back, especially if you've have any speeding tickets or moved to a new zip code.
My speed was aprox. 12 miles a hour driving down a two way road separating two shopping centers. The other driver attempted to cross my road to the other shopping center across the way, thought it was clear to cross and I was cut off by this person exiting the driveway to my left, didn't give me a chance to brake much! The other car was a 2000 Mazda 626, I ended up hitting their door and fender.
You must not spend any time in California (or other States along the southern border)
That
scenario plays out with the undocumented individual getting that summons you spoke of, but they'll never show up for the hearing. The victim is left to cover their own bills. Rinse, repeat.
The only defense left is to carry lots of "under insured motorist" coverage on your auto policy.
Sorry for your loss! Is your car Artic Silver?? I saw a ad for Artic Silver front end parts very resonable this week, I think it was rennlist.com, maybe the members only classified.
The jails in many of those states are already at capacity from our own domestic law breakers (largely because of our drug laws). Many in the state's police ranks could spend nearly all of their time processing these illegal alien arrests as they are time-consuming and expensive while violent crimes need their attention first. And then there's the matter of paying for all that, our government can take on more debt or raise taxes, neither of which are in vogue.
IMHO we have been in denial about how to deal with the issue for a long time. You're not going to even process every illegal caught let alone catch everyone in the first place. And doing so would require an epic spending of money on the order of another war in the middle east, which we've yet to pay for as well.
Also, from what I've read only a very small % of deportations and arrests of illegals come from a result of traffic accidents. They're typically arrested crossing the border on foot or in workplace raids.
