that sucks...

your best bet is to try to work something out with the insurance and take it to an independant body shop. i've seen corollas and camrys with badly bent frames repaired to perfection so it just depends on who does the work.

What a line.

Let me tell you what that means.

Your dealer sent you to the collision shop that they have contracted to do their repairs. We have a contract with the Nissan Dealer down the street from us. We do excellent repair work. Unfortunately the shop that your dealer has contracted doesn't do excellent repair work.

You have the right to use any, let me repeat ANY collision repair shop you wish. Your insurance company or your dealer may suggest one, but you do not have to use them. Thats the law, and it's your rights.

You should always inspect the shop and have them show you recent work that they have done. That way you see first hand what kind of work the shop puts out. Your the customer, shop around, even ask for a tour, if the place is filthy and unorganized, don't use them. The spray booth should be clean and bright. Ask to see it. If they don't want to show you around, don't use them.

Damnz! you only had it for a week before you got in an accident? That sucks so bad! The first week I had my maxima I literally would have killed anyone I got into an accident with, even if it was my fault. **** I would have even hit the passenger in my own car! Now its all messed up? that's even worse,maybe they forgot a bolt or 2 on the bumper so its hangen a bit? and the hole might be empty cuz they didn't get the replacement light yet? I don't know, im ****ed for you man damn it!@

That is terrible. I hope you did not take the car back. Call your insurance company and tell them to send someone to look at it. They are supposed to return your car to the way it was previously. Assuming it was in perfect condition before. Good Luck..

njmaxseltd is right. When my car was stolen, then found, I had a choice (through the insurance company, Allstate) on where to take my car to be fixed. They suggested shops, but I knew exactly where I wanted to take it, a place in Northvale, NJ. My family has been taking their cars there for years. They accepted it through the insurance company.. The car looks and feels like it was brand new again...I hope whatever you decide to do works out for you..

If this shop was on the list that your insurance company sent you, call your agent and tell them that you are not happy with the work that was done on your car. You are protected if the shop is on the list.

Fortunately when I had my accident, I took it to a Nissan dealership that had their own body shop on site and the work was done right.
