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)
