Hail Damage

axmea? · 03-01-2013, 03:58 AM

I've already come to the realization a long time ago that you take you car to the dealer at your own risk. In the end, they're there to make money and minimize loss/expenses. They'll fight to protect they're margins no matter what. They'll give and take here and there but they're around to take your money and not give them away in the long run. It is what it is.

Good luck with your repairs and hope it's done quickly so you can enjoy it again.

you in the marrero area of new orleans?

RoshDawg · 03-02-2013, 06:03 PM

Man if I were you I'd file a lawsuit immediately.

tjlazer · 03-02-2013, 06:39 PM

Lawsuit? That seems excessive. Just pay the $500 and move on with your life. Can't really blame the dealership for hail damage.

Cmike2780 · 03-04-2013, 12:07 PM

OP, this guy knows how you feel....

RoshDawg · 03-04-2013, 01:17 PM

I hope your insurance premiums don't go up because of this, you never know with some companies. I'm surprised your insurance company isn't suing the dealership (thats what I meant by lawsuit). Normally thats what happens as insurance would much rather have someone else pay for those damages..

Just got back from the insurance adjuster and they cut me a check for $6989. Dude told me the hood, roof and trunk will have to be replaced and the fenders, doors and panels will be PDR.

I'm no expert but $6989 seems kinda low to get the hood, roof and trunk replaced and painted plus both doors, both front fenders and both rear panels PDR.

I'm taking my Z to the most expensive body shop and these god damn slack jawed faggots better pay it full

Ew... $3100?!?!?! What the fúck have they been smoking?!?!?!
I'd go back and tell them to fück off... Give them the keys to the car and tell them to get it fixed for $3100

cqnguye1 · 03-05-2013, 06:46 PM

hey mb370z, let me know what shop u bring ur car to and how much they want for fixing it.

i already know allstate was going to give me a low estimate. every shop i called, as soon as they hear i have allstate, they dont want to give me an estimate until i get one from allstate.

i saw a sign outside a dealership that say "hail damage repair, FREE ESTIMATE", and i called them up. i told them i have allstate and guess what... i didnt get an estimate. lol

I'm going to try X-A-Dent and Ray Brandt Collision on Thursday. I'll let you know. I can't believe they only gave you $3100. Now I feel like a jackass for complaining about mine.

LMAO, that's awesome. I'd actually consider that if I lived in a place that hailed

MB370Z · 03-07-2013, 01:57 PM

Hey cqnguye1, I just got back from Ray Brandt Collision and they said they work with the insurance company estimates. Everything fix including new hood, roof and trunk with fresh paint with the check I got from State Farm. You should probably go there also and maybe you will get the same thing done.

DO NOT take it to X-A-Dent. Them slack jawed faggots are unprofessional. Dumb **** gave me an attitude and told me to come back in an hour as soon as I walked in.

Do you drive a red Z? I saw a red going down 5th street around noon while I was at Ray Brandt Collision.
