Sh** day... (Rear ended)

jboffill · 03-25-2012, 09:07 PM

Hey guys, just wanted to share my day with everyone. I was driving on I85 south bound and trafic was slowing down, the guy behind me did not see me and his truck hit me. I will post a few pics and the cost so you guys will see. The car is at the shop and will be there for about 21 business days. I just wanted to ask any of you that has experience things that i should be looking for when i get my car back, to make sure everything is done right. I hate to say it but i dont trust anyone at this point.

Any ways, thanks guys in advance.

Wow! So sorry for your 4 week loss. I hop they get it back to you in better shape than you left your garage in.

SPOHN · 03-25-2012, 09:35 PM

Sorry dude

Black cherry is a difficult color to match, but as long as it's a reputable shop you should be in good hands. If anything is not up to your liking when you get it back, make sure you have them make it right until it is up to your liking.

OUCH! Sorry about your experience man, hope everything works out well.

damn mate, sorry to see/hear, good thing is you are ok though!

just make sure you look over the vehicle very carefully when you pick it up, I once had repairs done to the front of another car, they put the wrong headlight in (few different models of the car had different housed coloured headlights). So 1 was chrome and 1 was black haha.

jboffill · 03-25-2012, 09:50 PM

yeah the shop is good, they do a lot of work with the place i got the car from. Big dealer here in Atlanta, and that body shop is part of them. The next thing i need to make sure is to have a good Diminished Value set up for the insurance company.

Thanks again for all the support!
