Subscribed. I have almost the same damage to my car (plus a bit more) and I'd be interested on how much you would end up paying to get it fixed.

Good luck!

What company won't cover it? or you didn't have uninsured coverage?

Unless you have just liability... The car should be covered.

Yeah your insurance should cover that for a hit and run.

Talk to Paul and Apex Auto Body. I had very similar quarter panel damage and he made it brand new again.

My quarter panel was around 1,000.

Rear bumper was about the same.

The damage in the OP pic looks more sever than what I had though, so it might end up being a bit higher based on the larger damage area.
