I was involved in a hit and run accident on St Patrick's Day weekend. I was hit in the rear...no one hurt. I was stop in traffice and was hit by a Ford Bronco...smashed the back in...top was up...frame slightly bent...didn't seem that major except for the trunck. However, it's been almost two months and my car is still being worked on. I should have it back this week.
It took a couple weeks to get the parts ub. Severals weeks to figure out how to get the top to work with the new parts. They hit my car again while repairing it....had to replace the front bumper. Went to check on my car and found more scratches then I brought it in with.
So far, it has cost over 16k to fix. 11k in parts alone...7k (3,500 a piece) of that just to replace the hinges....
I thought the guy was joking when he said it may two months to fix my car. They told me that the had to go to a special class for the SC 430 and I was their first car hit in the rear...and that they were dreading the day that they would get one...so, I'm their test case.
Has anyone else has any experience with rear repair work?
