Calgary: I got hit and run last night...

Hey Guys,

Sorry but i don't have a picture of it right now, but will get it up later tonight. The gf went to a movie last night and the driver side rear bumper was hit, I know its hard to get a suggestion without pictures.

Any recommended shops in Calgary?

That sucks!
Did you ask the theatre manager if they run any video surveillance? You never know. You might get lucky and catch the a$$ who hit your G.

Parking lots are the worst....
So many drivers just don't give a damn, they'll ding your car & drive off like it never happened.

Ah I had a very similar hit on my rear bumper. Did not crack the bumper but just took off some of the clear; I was able to polish it out. Good luck on the repair.

Park at the back of the lot at all cost. The likelihood of a hit if your car is at the back of the lots is minimal.

I understand though, movie theatre parking usually full though, even the back!
Good luck with the repair shop. I dont have any suggestions or recommend. for you.

I do the same; I always park right at the very edge (if possible; right beside the road so it leaves only one side to park on); but I still end up with people in beaters parking beside me when I come out. I guess they do it for fun (for the people who purposely go out of their way)...
