It's Craptastic (Accident)

So it was at 5pm when i gotten off work and from a distance i notice that the lines on my car doesn't match up; to my fear someone had hit my car and left a huge dent. On the bright side of things i was able to get the other party information, and now i have to decide which body shop to take it to. Any recommendations? Would this be an entire panel replacement or just a pull? Thanks.

Ouch! That hurts to look at!

If there is a bright side to it, at least they didn't damage your new wheels.

Most people are going to refer you to T&T Autobody in Sacramento. They have worked on a lot of G's on this site, and seem to excellent work.

Best of luck to you in getting your baby repaired.

It'll more than likely be a pull.... i hardly everrr see any shop doing an entire panel swap like you mention (too time comsuming and costly in labor with the cutting and welding)


Wow that sucks cuz you just got the wheels and was ready to enjoy the nice weather... now this

don't forget to file "diminished value" claim once you are done with the repairs.

my cars in the shop @ TnT in Sac as we speak, with nearly the same damage. Mine was a bit more severe and the panel will have to be replaced but Tony is freakin awesome and I made a day out of Sac with my buddy...e.g. patron shots and ladies + warm weather = fun

on the supside, if you dented the other panel your car almost looks like a 911 Turbo bc the dents are where the side vents are, anyone see the similarities?

Ouch.

I park in a similar spot at work cause there are trees over every other parking spot. One of my bigger fears is someone will back into my car one day.

Damn, I'm glad you got the other party's information.

TNT Autobody here in Sacramento is the way to go. It might be a trip for you since you live in SF, but it's well worth it in my experience as many other members will say the same.
