Hit and Run - Fantastic!

[mdgrwl]

Some idiot hit and ran my car... I had no idea of the incident until late at night I found my car hit.

I had hopes that a dent wizard guy could fix it so I did some wet sanding and hit it with FG400 and got out most of the scratches some deep ones still remain... and overall the panels are going to be to be painted due to the extent of the damages. Totally sux.

Got several quotes and all came in around the same. My insurance deductable is basically the same as I was quoted, so I'm going to just pay out of pocket.

Some idiot just cost me $950.00 cash...

sorry to hear about that, some people these days have no respect for other's property. karma will come upon who ever did this at some point and time...

So your deductible is $950????

[mdgrwl]

My deductible is $1000.00 - which I set up on purpose if a situation like this ever came up.

For example: If my deductable was $500 bucks, I would still pay the $950 out of pocket so as to not screw the carfax report of my car, and also to keep my insurance rate the same.

Most likey you insurance premiums would not increase if you used the insurance since it is not your fault.

In this case, like you have mentioned, the repair and ded is about the same so no reason to go through insurance.

You can always ask the body shop to try to cut you a deal since you are paying cash out of pocket.

You might be able to remove some of the paint transfer and just have a PDR take a look at it. If not a body shop should be able to "maybe" pop out the dent.

I know because this happened to my Mom's red Prius. I removed the paint transfer and she took the car to my uncles shop and they popped out the dent from her front drivers side bumper. She came back that same day all happy.

Won't hurt to try IMO.

Well good luck...

I got a 5.5" Orange LC foam pad and some M105 and did it by hand btw.

It will depend on how deep the scuff's car btw, but a good majority looks like it should come out.

Sorry to hear about this...

It's so hard now days to own something nice. Just too many people out there that do things like this to others with no accountability.

This would be a not at fault incident, so your rates wouldn`t increase. I bet your insurance is cheap with that deductible huh?

But then it's on your carfax.
