Dented roof - Reputable collision shop???

[slyphen]

I was parking in pitch black on the side of the road. a unhitched trailer was behind my car while i was backing up. as you all know our reverse light is on the bottom and i was able to see the road, and that was about it. the front of the trailer was kind of hovering and the bottom of the trailer was exactly at my roof line. on top of that it was pitch black, so i did not see it while backing up into parking. this was the extend of the damage.... does anyone know any reputable collision shop that is familiar with the 86s around the everett/lynnwood area?

Only the roof panel is damaged (not sure if there are ribings below the panel), interior side has no dents or anything, weather strip is also ok.

I havn't file an insurance claim yet since i researched the roof panel to be only approx $250, and my deductible is $500. wonder what my options are...

(not actual trailer)

Not sure about frs but I was quoted 5000 for my tundra roof a few days ago. Apparently it's quite labor intensive and your windshield will probably break. Regardless good luck on fixing it

thanks. i actually hope the windshield does break.... it has chip in it. i'd rather get that replaced before getting tints for my windows. i got a quote from a shop, they say although the roof panel is cheap, the labor is extensive. they quoted 1700+, so we'll see i guess. i filed a claim with my insurance.

This is why I always tap my brake lights and look before I go reversing into things. Good luck with the repair.

thanks. i just hope the support structure under the panel isn't damaged.
