Crashed - Need Advice

it wont be totaled unless ur repair bill gets close to 20k, i would recomend you do a lot of homework on which shop to send it to. A LOT. other than that sorry to hear about your accident.

modshack, do u have pics of the accident? looks like they did good work. im pretty detailed with my inspection post fixing so im not too worried and i'll make sure any imperfections are fixed before i hand over any money.

anyone have good tips/advice on choosing the perfect body shop? i have my strategy but i dont necessarily think that because some shops work on luxury cars versus economy cars that they're necessarily "better".

Jason....Like yours, mine didn't look that bad, but....

Front:

Rear:

Not so bad eh?....But by the time you start replacing all the underlying metal that was bent in the process it came to $3500 front and the same for the rear.

I went to the best shop in town and had seen their work on friends cars. Their labor rate was reasonable ($45/hr) and the Insurance co. didn't even blink (but their client was caught on video causing the accident)...
