Wow that horrible. You should try getting it done through insurance, just make sure your insurance rate won't go increase by too much. Sometimes insurance compaines will be like or or they'll be nice and cover it with no cost to you.

Paying out of your own pocket to have it fixed properly will cost a bit. $400-600 range is my best guess.

Sounds about right on cost. Your car is silver so it's best to have the professionals due the work. It might be cheap enough to pay for yourself. Good luck on the repair.

To eliminate some of your concerns on which way to go 1st call around and find a reputable body shop that will do a free estimate. 2nd determine their cost for repair vs your deductable and potential increase in insurance coverage in the future 3rd determine which path is most affordable for you..

I am so sorry to see that.. I would be so sad.

sorry to hear about this man, I'd be so mad. I'm always so paranoid when I park anywhere.

From the location, it almost looks like it was intentionally inflicted. That REALLY sux!

Yeah that looks like classic "keying" damage. Probably someone jealous of your car.

Looking at that pisses me off. This is just another reason why I wouldn't shop at Walmart. All walks of life unfortunately shop there, that means even the lowest scum of the Earth. And anyone who would do that definitely fits the bill.

Have any updates on the fix?
