85 is is always a parking lot during rush hours.

Have you picked a shop to do your work? If not try Artcraft collision! Top Notch work and Jeff will really work things in your favor if you need aftermarket parts

hint hint lol

DAMN!!!! why didnt i know this before hand. Yeah i got a shop already that has done work for me before and work with Gwinnett Place Nissan. I will keep him in mind tho for further work on the car.

Thanks again

Hey I'm just curious.. why did you not choose to bring it back to a Nissan dealership? If some guy did that to my car and his insurance will be paying to fix it.. can you not demand they bring it back to a dealership?

The same thing happened to my Honda Civic before and I said 'screw it I don't care if the dealership overcharges.. not my problem' and ordered the replacement bumper/headlight and paint job/install etc. from them. It was probably like $1500 more but not my issue, plus it gave me peace of mind.. and it was after all, the other guy's responsibility to get my car back to near-mint condition. Coincidentally, afterwards there was a paint chipping issue and obviously the authorized dealership was more ready/willing to rectify any complaints.

Glad you're alright though man.. that's the most important thing. If the accident messed up your back that sorta thing could last forever.. can't put a price on something like that.

Well at first they took it to their body shop and sent me some kind of paperwork saying that i am giving them auth for them to start fixking the car, this was a few hours after the accident. I told them no and to take the car to the dealer that i got it from (Gwinnett Place Nissan). From there the car went to (Gwinnett Place Body Shop) and thats where the car is right now being fixed. But yeah i will let you guys know how everything is going. Thanks for the support tho!
