sucks...they say that everyone will be in some kind of car accident during some point of their life.
GO PATS!!!
So now my car is in the body shop being fixed, and the total cost is $1701.56....and thats not even replacing the panel. According to my insurance company, the body shop that I chose, which is the best one in my area, will "work" the panel back into shape and re-paint the entire side of the car. They said that cutting out and replacing the entire panel was unnecessary and would mess with the structural integrity of the car. I should be getting it back on Friday, and I'll post some pics to show the work the shop did.
