Had to do a little research to see who the F is this insurance company. It's understandable why you're having issues. Good luck.

The estimate came out to $6900. Holy cotton picking hell. I'd get the car back by early next week.

Damn, 7g and not even a new body kit to take home:(

Sh:t man,that really sucks. That seems really high. I posted a thread where my back quarter panel was toasted and my door had a slight crease. My total bill came to 5 g's and the quarter panel has been ordered from Japan!!! Hope the insurance gets there sh;t together and the shop fixes your pride and joy better than new. Good luck man.

Maybe you fall under the Casualty part??

We all hope that your back on the road soon brother Merv....:driving:

Best of luck....:tup:

After 3 weeks and thousands of insurance dollars later, I finally got my car back from the shop. And yes, the other insurance company took liability :tup:

However, I now have a Service Engine light on. Looking at my dash, everything has been resetted (oil, filter, time, radio, etc). I'm wondering if the check engine light is actually linked to a problem or just something minor/misread.

Is there a way I can check this issue by resetting the ECU or other procedure?

That other stuff is minor, your trip computer was reset. Your ECU was probably reset at the same time as the trip computer, resetting it's not going to clear the DTC.

These days $20 will get you an OBD-II Bluetooth transmitter and you can install a cheap app like Torque on your smart phone / PC to read/clear the DTC. It's not a bad thing to have anyway, you can monitor your engine in real-time with just your cell phone if you go this route.

I would take your car back to the shop that did the work immediatly and tell them to check out the CEL, you'd never know they may have cut corners or even damaged something to cause the light to come on.

Before I went in for the repair, I had to get an oil change. When I got my car back today, I asked the manager why the service engine light was on. He told me that the oil had to be changed (which is true) but I'm wondering why the service engine light is on. When the oil had to be changed before the repair, it was stated on the left LED monitor saying oil change has to be done WITHOUT the service light turned on. I'm confused

I'm confused. Do you still need an oil change? It sounds like you just dropped it off at a body shop.

$20 will get you your own OBD scanner, but it doesn't sound like you'd use it more than once. If you still need that oil change, then you can kill two birds with one stone and avoid buying a device you'll never use again.

Well, in this case she could....... complement the Z since the rear is WIDE. Hey to each its own, if you like them WIDE go for it.
If not then get a chick in a SMART car (squared and narrow).

:wtf2:

:ugh:

Hello OP,
At least you know who back up into you, I just had someone hit me with their hitch I assume and just left my Z was parked. Thankfully it seems that it was just the front bumper.

I am sure the insurance will pay but just by looking at this it seems like a bout 3k in repairs. 1k for paint job and the rest for parts and labor.
