Aside from the cost of the repair or your insurance deductible, you have to deal with the hassle of getting the estimate and the down time of the car's visit to the shop not to mention getting someone to pick you up and take you to and from the shop when you drop off and pick up your car.
Who's got time for that nonsense?
