Dump truck side swipped my poor BRZ (Video)

Hi All,

Just wanted to share what happened to me today.

Driving to work and a huge dump truck in the left lane decided to switch into my lane. He didn't see me as he tried to merge in my lane. There's always heavy trucks in this area and I was glad I got past them all in the first half of the video as it looked like I was getting trapped between a few of them.

There's rubber from his tires all over the side of the car and the door is caved in. Power window is messed up as well. Luckily I didn't get hurt but I was in shock for a long time after this and could barely get any work done that day. Also the car behind me stuck around to give me his name and number as he witnessed this whole disaster. So lucky as most people don't want to get involved in this etc.

I wonder how good paint technology is these days. Will the body shop be able to paint match my crystal white pearl close to factory? I don't want 1/2 my car to look a different colour. I know it can be tricky to paint a tri-coat paint job.

Anyone recommend a good body shop in the Vancouver, BC area?

Folks, this isn't going to buff out....

My poor '15 BRZ, I hope you get fixed soon!
