So I went to the body shop used by my local dealer (D&A in Levittown, PA) and got them to quote and the number was much the same as the 'preferred' shops - insurance company had no issue in me using them and they just sent me a check direct

I think the proper way is to run a poll on rennlist as to which outfit she should wear, then submit the poll results to her!

So you waxed it out and used the insurance money to buy new wheels and tires?
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

It seems that lots of us are having bumps and scrapes at the moment!
I stood and watched the woman reverse her minivan into me. I was 15 feet away saying to myself, no, she will stop, she MUST know I'm there.
Luckily I think it is just one panel and it was very low speed, so hopefully just a swap out and all is back to normal.
Oh, by the way, the woman? That would be my wife......
Hate to see that happen.
But I envy you cause now you are so up on leverage, that you could 'do anything' and 'get anything' you want - (you know what I mean) . Unless of course you were down one and now you're even.
Either way, good luck with the repair.

These stories lately have got me shievering in my boots! I have got two Porsche and the old one has a paint job worth about as much as some complete cars. Guess I better not dwell on the idea.
+2 on the school-girl outfit. Go buy some candy!
Oh that must have been painful to watch your own wife do that. I bet she felt horrible. I say a cheerleader outfit. I think the proper way is to run a poll on rennlist as to which outfit she should wear, then submit the poll results to her!
Ouch, I'm sorry to see that. I'm afraid to take my P-car out of winter storage!!!
Oh, btw, I had my wife drive my brand new Yukon into the garage door! Ahh, wedded bliss.
Sorry to see this! It always hurts to see something happening to a P car.
Good luck with the schoolgirl outfit. My wife would just say: "See what happens without part distance control! You should have upgraded my car with PDC and skipped your new exhaust for the 911 instead."
So, to close the story off......
The insurance company made me get estimates from their 'preferred list' shops but I really didn't like any of them (especially the KIA dealer they wanted me to use
).
So I went to the body shop used by my local dealer (D&A in Levittown, PA) and got them to quote and the number was much the same as the 'preferred' shops - insurance company had no issue in me using them and they just sent me a check direct
Job took a week. New fender was $450 and new washer bottle and sensor was $80. The rest was paint and labor - total cost $2,000. Clear bra is another $750 on top of that but I am having them refit that again as the first attempt is not good.
Car looks great, I can't tell it ever happened
That's great about the car, but what outfit did you make your wife wear for all your hardship? Nurse, school girl or French maid?... inquiring minds want to know.
