I was recently in a 'little' accident with a concrete post. The car is a black 2007 V6, base model.
Long story short, my car will need a new right rear quarter panel, and almost certainly a new passenger door panel. There is extensive bent metal and scraping from the start of the door handle until the end of the wheel well, so I doubt any repair shop could fix the existing parts.
I expect that insurance will cover most of the cost, but my rates will skyrocket.
Any suggestions on the type of place to go for repairs? I could try some local dealerships. Also, there is a specialty paint and bodywork shop in the city with a good reputation, and a friend of mine had an excellent repair done to her almost-totaled Celica (I think it was done by that body shop, but it may be a different one).
Thanks guys. It's been a rough day, but the forums make it better.
