Hit-and-Run, Repair, Part-out, Sell?

Service member isn't going to be fked by this. So their daughter may be in big trouble, and there may or may not have been a parenting fail, but command isn't going to screw the service member due to this.

The point is, things wouldn't be taken care of without the luck of having some witnesses and a lot of leg work to find this person; they were happy enough to leave me high and dry. They didn't tell their insurance company that it was a hit-and-run, nor did they (USAA) seem to care about the fact that they've insured someone with a dependent that would behave this way. No one wants to mess with this guy's career on account of his daughter's actions, but hopefully there's someone involved that would influence their behavior in the future for others who won't be so lucky as I am.

Anyways, back to the point - Anyone have suggestions for a NOVA body shop who has had work done before? Better yet, anyone work at a body shop? I kind of have to act on this tomorrow...

A new bumper is not going to drop the value of your car. That's a little much. As far as carfax reporting, not one shop I've ever worked at reported anything to them. I doubt most insurance companies do either for a small claim like this. Also, its going to cost you more to fight for diminished value than you will get. We had a customer fight for dv on his challenger which took an $18k hit and struggled for two months to get $500 out of the insurance company. after paying for independent appraisals he didn't make crap

Nice! I may just go with your shop! I need to give the insurance rep your shop info to get the ball rolling, but will definitely let you know in the next day or so. Thanks for reaching/looking out!

My car was a hit and run too last week. Moores cadi on 50 by the Loudon county line. They do repair for every make and model. Did amazing work and quick turn around. Mom also got her crv fixed there and I got my old mustang done there too.

I actually just picked up my car from repairs today from D and V in sterling: the paint job is phenomemal, however they didnt put the bumper back on properly - you can see straight into the bay on both sides at the intersection of where the bumper, fender, and headlamp meet.

Ugh.
