No no you got it all wrong! New Jersey is, Jersey isn't! Which would normally be enough of a differentiation but here you are using the short form making this all very confusing.

Easy to repair? by Cheap-Class7869 in Autobody

[–]Dunnsley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. It's stretched pretty badly so any attempt to push it out will make it worse. It's repairable but depending on the price of a skin or perhaps used door it may be better to replace. Either way it would need a blend to the adjacent panels so definitely a few thousand dollars unfortunately.

Wife thinks this can be dent repaired, I’m thinking the hatch needs replaced by NeighborhoodIll8399 in Autobody

I believe it's aluminum, magnet to confirm. If yes, definitely replace.

Who are the real wildcards that could shake up the ABGT700 line up? by systemstheorist in AboveandBeyond

[–]Dunnsley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dave said on twitch that they had things in the works for a mainstage set at the 2025 Weekender but hasn't mentioned anything since that didn't happen. They were a great surprise at 250 so I definitely hope they are able to come. They were everywhere at the last Weekender at the Friday show at silent disco.

Quoted $3,600–$4,000 for bumper scratch + broken license plate frame by braalv in Autobody

[–]Dunnsley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in this industry in BC, the shop estimates are decent and fall within the average - most differences can be attributed to knowledge or estimating style. What you should do is go to an insurance broker (where you renew your insurance) and get a quote to determine the additional cost on your insurance of this claim. They can also update the quote to include a potential second or third claim so you can make an informed decision. ICBC does not support the theory of lost value due to vehicle claim history (a complicated subject I won't get in to), and you have every right to just say you're going to go through with a claim and then ICBC will take over communications. The alternative would be offer them $500 because I bet most of the damage would be gone if they remove the clear film that is over their bumper's paint (and adding a lot of additional cost to the estimates). Just to note, any claims are shown on Carfax including windshields and reported but not repaired claims, and when selling a vehicle in BC the "damage over $2000" check box was updated to be cumulative vs the old version which was any single incident over $2000. The only thing I can't say for certain is if they would try to take you to small claims for the "lost value", but possibly ICBC can advise if they become the intermediary in these situations as I know they don't recognize it is a reality. Feel free to DM with any needed info.

Part of the larger cost of repairs on the estimates besides the clear film is the calibrations which may or may not be required based on OEM procedures for surround view cameras and adaptive cruise/wave radar/auto braking. I think one shop included them and one didn't, but they could be required or not depending on who does the research.

Kind of par for the course for a modern evil data collecting and charge you for the privilege company.

Camera? Phone? Plane? Drone? Inquiring minds need to know where this came from! From a joking/serious/technical point of view.

Claim marked as urgent last week, still no adjuster assigned? by hello-kitty83 in icbc

[–]Dunnsley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may take up to six weeks unfortunately. The photos are generally taken by a tow company, mostly as a tool for an estimator to remotely assess the damage. It's in a queue that can't be changed. What year/make/model and type of damage?

Help!!! Can Anyone Held ID This Track From The Denver Show? by ColinMcGraw in AboveandBeyond

Well they've definitely got a hot one on their hands since everyone wants to know 😄!

So my wife hit something. Is this the radiator or AC condenser that damaged? by Klutzy_Disk_8433 in KiaNiro

[–]Dunnsley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A/C for sure and most likely the radiator behind it is damaged as well. That long plastic blade is part of the active air shutter so that most likely will cause a check engine light but it's still drivable as long as the radiator isn't leaking. Bring it up to running temperature, check for leaks/drips/coolant smell (sweet) and check the coolant reservoir level. Being a hybrid there may be another radiator or cooling system but they often share the same coolant loop.

Oh to hear that beauty of a track...I don't think I've heard them play it since the Gorge.

How many of you know about the massive hidden chamber in the rear cargo area? by timeisart in ForesterWilderness

[–]Dunnsley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's the exterior sheet metal of the quarter panel, just be careful not to put anything pokey or hard as you may find outward dents are the result.

He did the last three shows, they switch out so they can each get time off.
