i work at a night club in cherry hill...and i came out to find that someone backed up into my nice shiny black max...now theres a huge dent about 1 sq ft btwn my gas tank and bumper...my car is leased..what should i do..report to insurance or get it fixed myself...any suggestions of good body shops in the south jersey area that could fix this and how much i'd be expecting to spend..im really PO'd about this and im gonna catch the sucker that hit my baby...gimme some advice guys THANX!!

 

Doesn't a lease require full coverage insurance????
If yea, then I'd get it fixed through insurance.... I'd get an estimate first.. then go from there... sorry to hear that dude. Hope it works out fine.

 

If you don't do anything else file a police report. this does not increase your insurance rate or commit you to anything. From there get an estimate. if it is less than your deductable you can figure out what to do. if it is significantly more go through your insurance company to get it fixed. either way, find a reputable shop to do it.

 

BlakMax. Sorry to hear about your car. Is it one of those "Pop em out" dents or is there a crease? Like the other guy said, if more than the deductible go through insurance. That is why we pay them so much damn money. Also, you sound like my college buddy from Rutgers who played football, lifts weights, and all that jazz. You his twin brother or something. I know he has a Max too. Peace: e3 - spamman

 

If it's not creased, and you have a buddy in IT, have him get one of those suction-cup things they use to lift the tiles on a raised static-proof floor.....

They work AWESOME for pulling those suckers out.....
