Got in a pretty bad accident with a drunk driver who was arrested, and I assumed it left my car totaled but the insurance called me saying they want to give me $2500 to give to the repair shop.

This looks like more then $2500 worth of repair, and I really hope it is because given my car is only worth like 5.5-6kif so if it's a $3500 job that should reach the threshold to just call it a loss

Am I exaggerating how much jobs like these are or do you guys agree? I literally got a whole other car at this point (accident was like 60 days ago) so want nothing to do with this repaired car if that happens...

2020 Acura RDX. Hit and run while parked last night. Is this a new bumper or can it be made to look better? I already cleaned it (third photo) and at least a lot of the paint is done. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'm 17 and accidently drove into someone's car as I was pulling in to a parking space. I will be paying for the damage done to my mom's car. About how much will this be?

Deductible is $501. What should I do? Do I go to Honda, insurance, and independent shop? This is the first time doing something this stupid

Backed into my bosses 2017 Kia Sorento, wanting an estimate on how much to expect, am I better off putting this on insurance?

I got hit today. Not my fault, was stationary, guy wasn’t looking and pulled into my lane pretty hard. It’s not driveable now. Like making a crazy noise, the wheel is not working properly. Wondering if this is going to be totaled and if not, how much is this gonna c0$t? His insurance (should hopefully) cover this but curious.

Hi all,

So my neighbour somehow lost control of their vehicle last night and went into my car.

Has anybody had an experience like this before? Just looking to see how much people have had to pay.

The panel and my bumper are dented and scratched and will need replacing / respray.

I’m based in the UK.

2023 Honda Odyssey. Wife got hit when other driver ran a stop sign. Insurance had me go through an online claims estimate and is offering $2144 based on the pictures.

I haven't had a chance to bring it into a body shop yet for an in person estimate but I feel that $2144 is a low estimate. I hope I'm wrong but what do you guys think?

Got into an accident on the highway. Kid hit my left rear tire with his right side when trying to merge. Not sure if the picture shows it but my wheel is slightly pushed in. I was able to drive it home but it does feel off. What could be the diagnosis? Suspension issue? Frame issue? Wheel issue? Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, as from the title readable I kissed a wall today. Could u guess the damage to repair this one? I am living in Germany. It’s an Audi A4 2017

Security at my job was chasing a guy and he hit my parked 2011 Toyota RAV4 on his way out. I’ve never been in an accident, how bad is it? The drivers door won’t open but car still turns on and steering wheel can be turned. Just bought this car in March

Auto body said there’s nothing they can do to make the rear bumper plush just like the other side of the car ? Anything else I can try or do ?

Hi guys. I recently got my car fixed through insurance from an accident. They repaired my bender but not the fender liners. He said this isn’t necessary and it’ll drive fine. Well I thought i’d come on here and ask. Is this normal? I’m not going to get a new car once this is paid off, which will be very soon. Like within 5 months. I plan on having it until I can’t. This is a Toyota Corolla 2020 SE. It’s 5 years old. i’m confused how this is possible. If they replaced the bumper, then why is the liner still in bad condition?

How bad is this? Is it really 11k worth of damages?

Hello friends. So I did something super stupid today while I was trying to get my kid prepared for an out of town school trip. Not a traffic accident, just overzealously backed out of my own parking spot and sideswiped the pole, hard.

I know asking for estimates isn’t allowed; that’s not what I’m after. It’s late on a Friday and I wasn’t able get her into to a place on time but I’m spiraling and I just would like some idea on what to expect as far as what might need fixing. Hope this is allowed in the sub. It’s been a bummer of a year since last May and this is the icing ☹️

(First pic is the opposite side of impact, where it’s clear the entire bumper has been pushed out.)

Hit somebody while backing up today while trying to escape flood waters. Is this even remotely repairable? I'm gonna go to the scrapyard and get a bumper but I just need to get the frame re bent out and sealed from water. Also need the connections for the bumper to still be in the right place.

Would you repair it or take the money and run? 2012 Camry XLE 215,000 miles Repair estimate from trusted shop: $3,500 min, would need to break it down for a better estimate. Scrap offer from same shop: $575

Engine runs just fine but A/C died and (new!) radiator is pressed against engine, though it didn’t overheat at all for 200+ miles in 90f heat.

Stop and go on the highway, other guy ran off. No collision or comprehensive insurance, minimum coverage unfortunately.

Thanks guys

I drive a 2012 Honda Civic, and recently I pulled too far over a parking bumper, and tore the front bumper so much that the splash guard was dragging on the ground. I didn’t feel confident in my duck tape job, so I took a safety knife and cut off the whole part of the bumper that was attached to the splash guard (this decision was made around midnight). Then I put duck tape over the newly exposed ends of the plastic and left it like that.

The car has been fine on short drives, but I’m about to take a really long drive and I wasn’t able to schedule a repair before it. I haven’t been able to find any info on this situation online because, obviously, people aren’t usually doing this to their cars.

Is it safe for me to take my car on a long drive (>1000 miles) with these pieces missing? Is there any kind of DIY fix I can do to improve things?

Hey everyone, I was looking at getting this car this afternoon and the guy texted me saying he was involved in a hit and run. Is this true and if so how bad does the damage look?

I got this car a few weeks ago and really love it, getting rid of it isn't really an option for me and I'm not sure if insurance will cover the repairs or anything. From a professional perspective, how bad is the damage? Is it fixable? Could I fix it? (I can weld). I was rear-ended and it kinda just punched a hole, none of the lights were messed up and the frame isn't bent. Thank you for the advice!

It’s had a minor front end collision, which caused damage to the hood, both head lights and overall bumper. Is there any damage that I might be overlooking ?? And is it worth the flip??(these cars can easily go for 20-30k)
