Default OOPS I scratched my car

I cannot believe how careless I was, but I reversed my car into a tiny spot and bumped (very slow) the wall (parking garage). As a result I have a few small scuff/scratch marks on the rear bumper

What to do?

Carnica?
Body shop?
Touch up paint?
let it go until someone hits me

I dont think I can live with it the way it is

jim, jim, jim, it is plain to see that cause of your reckless actions and improper use of your vehicle that you have no choice but to turn the car over to me til further notice!! I'll make sure that your vehicle is properly cared for and not subject to any abusive situtations as you seem to be providing.

looks like you might have to repaint the whole car

Alex, Alex, Alex, you have provided me with no soloution to my problem

I expected more from you but your to busy chasing women and acting like a 20 yr old

So I guess I will trying buffing out the scratch and see what happens? Otherwise I'll have to trade it in on a 2005 GS and suck it up til then.

The scratch is down to the surface. I called my body shop as was told appx $350.00 to remove and repaint the bumper. I was also thinking of the shop where Chris took his car?

YIKES! What body shop did you go to?


I'd recommend Erich's Lehigh Auto Body in Niles on Touhy. Ask for Carol Himmel.
