Man I can't f'n believe it, sometime on Friday night (yes the 13th) some #@$ keyed the hell out of my G coupe. They started on the rear quarter panel where it went really deep (I can see a few spots of metal) and went all the way down around and in the door handle and stopped just before the front edge of the door. For those in the MDR area look out, it was on Lincoln across from Brennans. I could kill someone.

Anyone have suggestions of where to take it to get it fixed? I live in the
South Bay and work in the San Fernando valley, so anywhere between there. Its a lease so if I take it to dealer do I have to worry about having the dealer know about it? Also since its a lease I have to match the color will body shops be able to do it? Last question, should I claim this on insurance or just eat it? Thanks for the help and suggestions.

 

Claim insurance because its going to cost you a very pretty penny...Your insurance won't go up that high...It's not your fault....Also, i'm sorry for the misfortune...Damn....People needs to stop with this shiet....Cars dont' do shiet to anyone...If you have a problem you should face that person...Sorry bro...

 

How much is your deductible? Also, insurance shouldn't go up for this kind of incident.

 

I feel sorry for you man, that sucks. My last car was keyed around all four sides plus the hood. It cost 4 grand for a new factory paint job. You should definitely claim insurance on it.

 

You Are Going To Have To Use Insurance, Becuase From The Way It Sounds You Will Have To Paint More Then 50 Percent Of The Car,(if You Pay Out Of Pocket A Decent Body Shop Will Get Over 2000) And Yes Body Shops Have Color Systems, And Mix The Paint To Match The Coclor Of Your Car. It Works On A Code Number, And They Mix All Diff Types Of Paint, To Get The Colr, Then They Use A Blending Method, So If The Color Is Not 100 Percent Right On, So You Dont See It. It Will Come Out Great Dont Worry Be Happy Its A Lease And You Dont Have To Keep It Now.

 

oh...Go to the dealers and ask them what bobyshop they use...Most boby shop that is tied into a dealership knows how to match the car better then those that doesn't know that the car exisited....

 

dang that TOTALLY SUCKs!!!

I feel for you! I hope it doesn't happen to anyone else!!

I hope the guy who keyed your car gets what he deserves! what goes around comes around!

 

definitely claim it

 

Cool thanks for the suggestions, I have a $500 deductable so I will call my insurance on Monday. Any suggestions for good body shops or estimates on the cost? I figure it's at least a $1,000...
