Hey guys... sad day... very pissed off...

i was heading to the Gym after work. In a parking lot looking for parking. A car behind me, and a car in front of me. The Mazda MPV that was in front of me stops and starts backing up... I couldn't back up cuz there was a car behind me.... So I honked and I honked... to no avail...

This is my 1st 'accident', so im not sure what to do. I got all his info - and filed a claim with my insurance company. They suggested a couple body shops - but im not sure - anyone in the bay area (nor. Cal) know of a quality place to take my baby to???

A friend of mine mentioned that I could use this as an opportunity to put a kit on, and have insurance take care of it. Is that possible? How do I go about doing that?

Im so pissed!!!! The the freakin other driver couldn't speak english!

 

Man, two PG's ran into in one day. Sorry about the car man. Just make sure you take it to the best place possible to get fixed and dont take it back until its perfect. Something similar happened to me about a year ago. I thought i was strict and picky enough to the shop but its still not perfect. The paint is a little darker and the lines are not perfect. I never had time with school and stuff to take it back and get it done perfect.

 

whoah one rear ended, one front ended in the same day.. both PG's.. I hope u didn't rear end into the other G.

sorry to hear about it. insurance will fix it as new dont worry

 

damn sorry to see and hear that... the driver must be deaf if he didn't hear you honking...

 

Yeah, the saddest would be if two Gs collided....or what if they were both on this forum or something....

Hey, at least no one got T-boned today

 

- do some research on the body shops recommended by ur insurance company.
- choose the one that u most prefer.
- then tell ur insurance agent about ur choice. he/she will hook u up.
- then call the body shop to set up an appointment. bring ur car in and do all the paperwork. leave ur car there and pick up in a few days.
- car willl be good as new.

things to note:
- Check THROUGHLY when picking up ur car. new dings, scratches, blemishes.. fitment problems. window seams/linings, bumper/fenders/housing fitments...

I brought my car in to fix a scatch (vandalism) and the body shop fixed all as new (insurance covered). then on pick up i didnt check throughly at all.. so few days later i found 2 new scratches, abrasions on my clearbra, rear bumper poor fitment, driver side window is not sealed properly.. --> very hard to tell, need to compare both sides but u can hear some "air noises" in the cabin while driving, that's how i first found out about the flaw.

so bottom line is to check everywhere when u pick up and make sure they dont give u new cosmetic makeups... check for curb rashes, bottom of bumper rashes too..

I brought my car back to fix everything though.. no charge (duh)

good luck!

 

^Thanks! Already started doing research. Any places u'd recommend here in the bay?

 

i don't have much experience with repair shops either.. the ones i got weren't very good.. what insurance company do u have?

 

damn u got it from the front n the other guy got it from the back..whos next??? we droppin like flies....hope everything turns out easier then thought of 2 fixxxx!!

 

that blows man. two pg's in one day. i was heated all day but the gym calmed me down lol. it's all good though it's just a car and will be fixed.

 

yeah the car will be fixed as new.. but i dont like body shops to be touching my car..

 

Sucks man.

Call your nearest dealer and ask them for their recommendation.

 

Mercury
Thanks for the tip.. will do that.

 

Something fishy is going on here...

 

ok i admit. im jealous of PG so i paid those people to do it. im sorry, hahah jk but so sorry to see that man!
