My dad has a 97 Maxima GLE. A few days ago he was driving down a 4 lane street next to a young girl in an SUV who was going too fast and driving too close to the person in front of her. The car in front of her stopped and she knew she couldn't stop so she swerved right which was right where my dad was. She put a big dent in the front left corner of the car. The turn signal was broken but not the main headlight. The left front quarterpanel is bent up pretty bad and about an inch of the hood is bent down at the front corner. The bumper is also damaged. I dont have any experience with getting cars repaired and have some questions. Will they have to replace all 3 of these parts? The bumper, hood, and quarterpanel? Also, the bumper and hood were shifted about an inch and do not line up properly. Can the body shop ever get it exactly like it was originally? Thanks for your help.

her insurance takin care of it ??? if they are dont worry take the car to the best auto shop in town and they will buy new bumper and whatever needs to be fix. i think the quarter panel can be banged out. if u go to a good shop they should check frame and it will look better than b4 he got in a accident

 

Yes, her insurance is taking care of it. She was totally at fault. I feel better now that I know it wont be all messed up forever. We can't take it anywhere until we get the police report which will be on Monday. The reason I am so worried is that it is my car when I turn 16. :-) Thanks for your help.
