Hit and Run, Toronto , where to take for rear bumper, pls help! Questions
I already reported the accident to collusion centre,tomorrow i will talk to Insurance but most likely (unless i have one of those first one guilt free type of coverage) the investigation will come up with nothing. if there is gonna be deductible, i might as well try to either get this thing popped and getting it painted and see how it looks or look for someones part out, my last question is if i decide to fix it on my own, can i withdraw my claim application, since insurance is not going to o anything and i dont want my premium to go up for nothing?? also where do you guys recommend to take the car ???? in Toronto??
Well if you're interested, i'm going to be calling up a couple of shops this week actually to get some work done on my car (front bumpter sanded + repainted and some rust work around the rear bumper/left side rear quarter panel repainted). PM me and e-mail pics to lemarp@hotmail.com Maybe I can work with the shops and get us a good deal?
If you're going to be calling around as well, let me know and I can send you pics as well. I'm also located in the GTA.

I am with TD as well, and i had a smaller dent then you on driver side fender.
TD waived the $500 deductible since it was not my fault as the same thing happened to me as you, hit and run.
but i think a brand new bumper installed and painted will run you $900

CarStars are always pretty good in general. They did a nice job fixing my keyed fender. I think the place that fixed my dents may also be able to do this work.

thank you for the feedback, since it was hit and run seems like i should not be paying anything, i will check the thread for good body shops since insurance takes care of everything. i would rather not pay for this (i had to fix pedal accelarator problem which cost me 700 bucks to fix it. )

looks pretty good for a fix and paint job, even though i do see slight remains from the accident, but it is really minimal, which shop took care of this?

haha lol no, what happened was my car wouldnt go over 2k rpm, i thought it was the sensor, nissan did a check ends up being the accelerator pedal problem(i dunno they quote me that way) i wouldnt dare going over the speed limit after once (55km IN A 40km area ) caught.

Definitely dont go through auto insurance. youll be screwed.
Thats a veryyyyyy easy fix. happened to my bumper a few years back with a huge hole in it too. right now it looks brand new. They pop it out with a heat gun and paint it. prob shudnt cost more than $400 - $500 max. I took mine to CFD auto collision at islington and steeles. might be far for you , but there shud be a ton of other good places.
