Help please! Accident question
Alas, I've scrapped my 2006 car (bumper and side panel) on a garage pillar and I haven't made a claim in decades and I have questions.
In the seam between the bumper and the left panel is a quarter-size dent and then on the bumper I've scratched it several times. I took compound the remove the pillar paint but I've got the following questions I trust only you members to ask: When I go for a fix do I have them: -- hammer out the little dent or -- replace the side panel entirely? Ditto the bumper -- would you get it replaced, too, and what do you think the entire fix will cost? Thanks for reading!! |

Can you take pics? I would tend to replace it if I had the funds since it's an 06, but that can also have issues with paint match. Guess I'd say.........find a very good body shop and let them take a look and see what they think. You can get several estimates and see if you are comfortable with any of them. I would also ask friends and co-workers if they know a good body shop. If nothing else, try call Rosenthal Mazda on Glebe in Arlington and ask them or search the Vendors thread and send Tommy at Rosenthal a note, but the dealership may not be the best place to go. |
Thank you, Mazurfer. You've given me some good and valuable food for thought. I'll start my search tomorrow.
