Do you have the software for estimating body shop repairs? Some idiot woman backed her full-size truck into my car this morning in a drive through. Yes, you read that right... BACKED into me in a DRIVE-THRU. Tore a couple gouges in my bumper and and bent up my hood. Also busted 3 of the mounting clips off my grill. Those should be the only things replaced, and of course they would have to be painted and the fenders blended.

I will have pics later in the day.

ArthurS · 2004-03-02, 11:16 AM

Unfortunatly I do not. Adjusters have access to this program. Someone told me there is a way for me to access it, but they weren't sure. I will call our adjuster and see if there is a way for me to access it, or ou can just tell me what parts you think would need replacing, and I can get the prices from him.

Kevin M · 2004-03-02, 11:23 AM

just those 3 parts- hood assembly (but not scoops or backing plates), bumper cover and foam backing, and the grill. There would also be paint work for both fenders and some removal/replacement labor. It takes a while to strip down an RS front bumper.

Damn guys, the Subarus in this club are dropping like flies up there this winter...

Kevin M · 2004-03-02, 11:40 AM

No no- the damage is very minor. If this were an older car I wouldn't even bother to fix it. Still perfectly driveable, and I will probably make enough extra money to buy some STi seats if the recyclers have a BRP RS handy.

ArthurS · 2004-03-02, 12:09 PM

Let me look into the general cost plus paint and labor.

MikeSTI · 2004-03-02, 12:10 PM

If you want a quick answer to this you can call K K Enterprises Collision Repair.......there in Rancho Cordova near Risky Business :shock: so its not far from S2

they have all the latest part catelogs for estimating.....if you want to give it a try Ask for John but if hes not avalible I dont think it will mater who you talk to if you do get John thou you could always drop my name

Mike Harris - American River Auto Wrecking
there number is - (916) 638-7289 asumming there number hasnt changed sience the last time I was there :wink:

Kevin M · 2004-03-02, 03:46 PM

Bogus. Nate and I looked at it closer. Radiator support is bent and some of the welds are broken. I am now very unlikely to have the car anywhere near ready in time for Buttonwillow.

Autocross season shouldn't be a problem however.

Nick Koan · 2004-03-02, 04:48 PM

Damn, that sucks man

ArthurS · 2004-03-02, 05:11 PM

Did the lady leave her insurance info with you? Shoulds to be more expensive then thought and that is definatly her fault.

Kevin M · 2004-03-02, 09:07 PM

Yeah I made sure I had everything before I let her go.

sperry · 2004-03-03, 09:37 AM

You'll be putting a 22b bumper on there right?

Kevin M · 2004-03-03, 06:00 PM

Actually, if I change it, I'm on record as saying that I would go with P1 stuff, and I still think that's what I'd do.

I took it back to one of the places that gave me an estimate and he is 99% sure there is no core support damage.

I'm going to take it to that place in Sac that ScottB recommends and see what they say as well as have Nate take a closer look (what we thought was a broken weld may have simply been poor use of adhesive during assembly).

Stay tuned for updates. I'll actually be glas if there is no structural damage because that means I can get non-stock parts and make a little cash off the deal. Otherwise, I'll just be out of a car, probably for too long to make it to buttonwillow.
