That is correct. I am 0% at fault and the insurance company will cover the cost of rental and the repair.
I don’t know much about body shops in my area so I took it to my dealerships preferred body shop.
I have no idea if they will be welding in a new panel for this damage. I simply reported it with them and they took pictures for my insurance company.
I will speak to them before leaving my car and ask what my options are.
I’m sure they will be happy to bill the full cost for the more expensive repair anyway
