I honestly don't know much as I haven't seen the car. They probably dropped a ramp on it or something when they tried to load the top. Sigh I know my $hit luck was going to begin somewhere. If the damage is heavy, I am going to get it fixed and sell it.

Since I don't know anything in the new area, might as well look for the shop with the highest per hour charge to get it fixed. They were talking about giving me $40 a day for a rental, they better give me more than a Corolla.

$40 is pretty good if they have their own insurance rates


Where in SoCal are you?

$40 through insurance with a contract gets you a Mustang, potentially a 5.0 as well
And damn, I don't know any shops there

Steel and bottom line a hassle to fix. They stepped on it.
