Hey guys.
The green monster got backed into nicely on Christmas night by a guy not paying attention.
We were all downstairs at the Wife's Grandfather's place opening presents when the doorbell rang.
An upset guy stood on the porch and asked who owned the green Focus at the end of the driveway. My heart dropped.
The guy was VERY upset. That got rid of any of my urges to bounce this guy down the driveway in a hurry. He honestly felt bad, and could have driven away if he wanted to.
I went out to have a look...For sure at least 3k in damage. Driver side quarter panel, door punched in and creaking, trim and scuffed rim.
So I've reported it, notified my insurance etc....
Now he wants me to go out and get quotes to see how much it would be to take care of it outside the insurance companies. What a pain in the ass. He smashes my car, and I have 3 days of crap to put up with. It almost seems not worth bothering with.
So here's the million dollar question.
ANyone know of a good place to take the car in the Oakville Burlington area???
I'm going to have Discovery Ford collision look at it (they did a good job when I had my accident)
I'll need another shop. I'm thinking 2 quotes will be enough to give him.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks guys!
