Just calling and asking about what to do can wind up costing you as well, so be sure of what you want to do before calling your insurance co.

Sadly every body shop is booked out so I'll have to wait a few days for a quote. However I'm estimating the damage to be under $1.5k (I hope)... a door is roughly $500-600 (if they decide to replace it) and the other side should hopefully be a few hundred. I want to avoid claiming it as much as possible because they'll make me know about it in the future.
Ugh. It hurts so much looking at it now, especially since I've always maintained and waxed the car like every week. The worst always happens to something you look after too much |

This is why I don't bother keeping my car pristine. It's a cheap, easily replaced car, so what's the point?

Ok, I'll clarify, since I don't invest time into obsessing over the paint's condition, I'm less hurt when the paint gets damaged.

Definitely, pay out of pocket. The insurance route will cost you more in the long run. Best of luck.

Make for long trips between London and Windsor twice a week. And even then the paint would chip.

Yea, but paint chips on a tank are considered character...

You should be able to drive up to any body shop and ask for a quote. They might be booked up as far as doing the work, but giving a quote shouldn't be an issue. Most shops use software to price out the parts and labor. |
