You confused me can you explain it again

Call your insurance, explain to them what happened and see what they say. They should be able to tell you if it will affect your rates without actually filing a claim. Hopefully they can file it as a comprehensive claim and just charge your deductible with increasing your rates. That estimate looks like its in the ballpark btw I can't imagine it being much cheaper.

Just went to two body shops, one is charging me 3,067$ and another is 1,200$. On my way to see my insurance agent to see what they can do for me. So from 3 shops I was quoted 1200,1500, and 3067$. Why are they all varying prices?

Various shops use different qualities of paint, charge different labor rates, different quality of parts they use for the repairs. Some do better jobs of estimating the job and others will stick it to you later when they discover more damaged then was originally estimated. Thats just a few different reasons why.

Im under my mothers insurance since im only 19. I dont want the rates to go up thats why I havent went to my insurance yet. But it looks like a claim would be the best way to go since it is a act of nature and I couldnt do anything about the wind. In that case, would my rates go up? Should I even bother with insurance?

Just ask the insurance. Some will some won't.

If they cover it at all it will be comprehensive and should not impact your rates. All depends on your policy though.

All I can say is....."Damn".

The prices are all over the place because some are writing to replace both doors and blending both sides of the car, others are probably just writing it for hinges and some repair. To me, I'd say it needs two doors and the $3k+ seems right. They can only write what they see at the time, it needs to be torn down and things measured to really see what's going on. File a claim

lizbrayan · 04-19-2016, 06:37 PM

The car is a lease so it has full coverage. Talked to my insurance agent and he said that my rates would go up since 1: I am a young driver and 2: the car is considered a sports car. Which makes no sense to me in the slightest since it was an act of nature. My deducatable is 1000$ so im stuck as to what I should do

Sounds like your agent is blowing smoke up your ass if you ask me....

Summerwolf · 04-20-2016, 07:51 AM

Well, at that point I guess I'd pay out of pocket to get it fixed as cheap as possible. Basically your doors need repaired and it probably needs hinges. To fix the doors will require some definite bodywork and alignment time. Your paint will need blended as well.

I think the 3,000 dollar quote was actually replacing your doors, but I'm not sure. It should all be pretty clear on your quote exactly what they were doing.

Your insurance agent isn't telling you the whole truth, but if it is a first claim on an otherwise clean policy your rates could be affected.
