So I wake up early saturday morning, great sunny weather in NE even though they predicted rain. Since we cancelled our G meet I figured let me drop my car off at the shop to get this quater panel dent removed that wasn't from a car, but actually from someone kicking in my quater panel(haters). Anyways, I go to the bank first to square some stuff away before I lose my car for 2 days. So I leave the bank parking lot, and guess what happends, YUP, an old lady in truck from like 1985 slams her brakes out of nowhere, I brake but it was too late, bang right into her rear bumper which is made of thick *** steel, rusted steel on top of that. Front of my bumper has a dent from her ball and a line all the way across in brown rust.

So I think I'm one the few people that can say I damaged my car on the way to a body shop, NOW IF THAT AINT A BAD DAY, I'm not sure what is.

Just venting.

 

sorry to hear good luck with the repairs

 

Sorry man. She probably fell into a pothole. Streets are horrible right now.

 

There charging me 250 for the bumper, and 250 for the quater panel, does that sound right???

 

As long as it comes out well, sure.

 

Well when I pulled in, they had a benz, a beamer, and a lexus all being worked on, that must be a good sign.

It sounds cheap, I checked around this site, and most guys payed 400+ for bumper work, and 300+ for quater panel work, it must be my area or something, I went to about 4 shops and they all pretty much charged me 250 a piece for each part of the car.

 

That's a great price! I should come to Nebraska to get my front bumper repainted from all the rock chips. Here in Hawaii it would cost me about $500

 

Nebraska? Boston's in Massachusetts

Anyhow, good luck OP! Sorry to hear about your misfortune.
