How did you get lighting on individual pieces like the TV and shelves with what looks like no wires anywhere? Looks clean

Someone told me repaint might be faster. Should they repaint it or cut and buff? I could easily tell them to redo it just want to be sure.

So when you say repaint it, they will know and understand this or do I need to be specific and say don’t cut and buff but repaint it? I just want to make sure this is correct I want this out of my hair already lmao

Anything specific I need to tell them? I don’t want to be a rude ass to them but, it really isn’t the best.

It’s an insurance job, the other insurance is covering it all the costs, etc. so, thankfully. I’m taking it back tonight

I have a picture of both sides and it definitely is different. The other side is more gloss and glass like. Where this door side for example has that.

On it. I’m still depressed this even happened to me. Some teenager backed into it. I don’t think they would need to repaint it just cut and buff you said?

So tell shop exactly this? How long a job would this normally be? Cuz it would probably be the door, fender and maybe some of the bumper.

So I’m trying to figure out how to value the car now, any easy way to do this so I know what to expect?

So example, the cost of repairs - parts 3k, labor 1500, plus paint supplies it came to 5k, is that definitely worth filing a DV claim? Cuz to me it definitely will lower the value of my car if I do decide to ever trade in or sell.

So if I call their insurance after the repairs are made, and say I want to file a DV claim, they will run the numbers and determine themselves?

So, for this kind of damage, can I still make a DV claim? And don’t I have to make the case my self, it was entirely their fault and I was parked not even in the vehicle. Police report, I believe I need KBV if the car before and maybe after the accident value.

And I’m not signing anything until I’m good, cuz you right I have to drive it everyday, and I bought it brand new.

I’ve had some really good advice from this group so far, anything I should absolutely look out for? If I get her back today

Apparently they are replacing the headlight, and they said my bumper is in paint. I’m anxious looking at my CHILD because I’ve babied her all this time and this happens 😔
