I got in a wreck in hurst

I live in North Richland Hills/Hurst Tx and an older woman (97 Toyota Avalon) ran right into me when I was going straight- anyone have any ideas about where I should take my car?? I am worried about something happening to it. - Its not just an ordinary car- and I am also worried about taking it to Mazda and them switching parts and something go wrong after I get it back- I am very skeptical. Hiley Mazda is just down the road from me- and I also am impressed with Advantage Autoworks on Davis in NRH- I talk to the lady with Farmers tom.

Does Hiley have a collision center I wana say they contract it out somewhere else- I think they told me that before?

Whatever you do, don't go to Service King. Talk with Ajax if you want specifics.

I have it at Advanced Auto Works on Davis BLVD, they said they have been in business for 18 years- We will see- I am pretty impressed with them and the work that they had shown me. I will post up picts. they said they are going to order Mazda parts and the guy from Farmers is doing his estimate on it there right now- He said I should have it back by the end of the week. I will post picts- the before are in my album.

I do a lot of business with Lone Star Collision on 26 in Colleyville. They do really good work for us. If your still looking, speak with Jennifer, she'll take care of you. let me know if you have any questions regarding them

going 50mph took about 3 weeks... I didn't have to pay a penny because the guy took responsibility and apparently he barely had a scratch
here's a pic.. =\ but the cars back now greater than ever

i guess it doesn't look like 9053 dollars in damage, but it is:

I can believe it! Ya the parts for our cars are expensive- the headlight alone for my car was over a grand! Were you ok? This past week my left shoulder and left side of neck are sore- so is my back- The lady that hit me took full responsibility also, that makes it easier! It looks like he it you pretty good! Did they replace the tire as well, it looks scratched up

I actually had just bought new tires.. but the tire was fine. Replaced the rim. Yeah I was fine I'm VERY pleased with the crash safety in the rx8... feel like I actually trust the car more haha. They did a pretty good job fixing it, and yeah each headlight assembly if you have HID's is like 1053 or something like that. Good news? No more rock chips in my front bumper or hood haha.

ya mine are the Xenon lights- very pricey- lol that is what I said- I don't have any rock chips any more! Other than the fact I wanted the car to begin with- that was a plus it has great crash safety!
