What can I do to get it repaired?
Where can I go?

Supirse that you need to ask this. Bring it to Burger King or Mcdonalds.

But seriously, only a body shop can fix this.

How much do you think it will cost?

Open up the yellow book or your local weekly ethnic magazines for a body shop. Bring it in to couple body shops and see what the going rate is to fix that.

Only the body shop will know how much it cost. The damages can be as simple as banging in the doors + bondo + paint, to having to replace both doors, and/or frame damage. If i had to guess by looking at those pictures, minimum of atleast 1600 if theres no frame damage. i dont do this for a living so its juts a guess.

what car is that?

i reckon it's a sedan? if that's the case, just need both doors replaced and painted. might need some minor adjustments if the joints of the doors are misaligned. if that was a coupe, would been a lot more expensive.

why not take this through your insurance? i am sure your deductible will cover the costs.

LOL fast food and fast repairs!

Your insurance company should know approved bodyshops that will work with your insurance company and should guarantee any work performed by them. Also find out about your deductible. You pay a certain amount and then they cover the rest. Of course your insurance rates will go up.

If you just want an estimate without the insurance company being involved, just take it to any body shop and ask for an estimate. My recommendation: Whether or not your insurance is AAA, I would take it to a AAA approved body shop. They do a decent job of finding legit shops.

Its the Civic sedan.

My brother was driving a turn and the breaks failed on him. The brakes needed to be replaced anyways, but he should have been more careful.

Both doors on the drivers side are scratched and dented. It's pretty bad.

I need to know what's the best way to get it repaired. I can't think of anything.

Here's the picture.

The picture doesn't show it, but the second door is really dented inwards too.

that looks pricey!!!

that looks pricey!!!

FERSHUREEE!
oh geez.. yeah it's a Civic

[cand33clouds]

O.O i think both doors have to be replaced...

well check with body shops first, and if you want insurance to help you pay for it, then go through them =]

[matango88]

my father was in an auto accident recently and the damage was only on one door, and the estimate to replace the door and repair it was around $3,000 - $6,000

$3,000 was the lowest estimate

but it also depends on the type of car, but it looks like several thousands of damage

[~ BunnyliciouS ~]

^ Wow.

Yah, I once smashed my bumper, it cost around $2K
I have $250 deductible
That's what insurance is for.... although they increased the insurance rate after T__T

[cksdayoff]

how fast was your bro going in that turn?

I'd be so pissed. if your bro can't pay for it, i'd sell him to cover the costs.

j/k

but yeah, that's some significant damage, imo.

someone once slashed my softop came out to 4500 =X

That's too pricey for a soft top. It cost around $1,000 to replace the S2K soft top and another $500-$1,000 for labor.. For $4,500, you could have bought a new hardtop and a soft top.

Looks like they took you and the insurance to the cleaners.

MY soft top ripped last year and I had to replace it. Labor+Soft top would be $1000 at the dealer. I bought and installed it myself which took 6 hours...

Yeah. Some dumb lady ran into my mom when I was going to school, and pretty much banged up one of our doors (it wouldn't open)
the insurance people said it would cost 2000-2500 to fix or replace the door (toyota camry) however, the car itself was like 1000-2000 dollars so we just kept the money and banged it out with a hammer (it seems we bang out alot of parts of my car) But it wasn't as bad as your door.... uhh.. Im really sorry about that, that looks pricey. But although my car door looks hideous because we banged it out, (i banged out another part but its not noticeable.. this one was too damaged) but it opens and works.

Yeah but nobody should have been driving a car with faulty breaks. What if some child got hurt instead of a fire hydrant?? That's going to be a huge mess

I hope you didnt kill him yet. You need to sell your brother off to mexico! (i dunno y but yeah)

oh danggg!
yeahh I'm glad nobody got hurt. Geez this is horrible. Turns out my cousins girlfriend can get us a huge discount rather than going through insurance. I'm not sure how much yet.. but we'll see. I'm pretty sure it'll still cost a fortune. My parents have not found out about it yet. My brother doesn't plan on them finding out. ahhh..

LOL seriously? just wondering, do you guys live with your parents and how old are you guys? i dunno this might be really diffcult to hide...
I hope the huge discount works out, tell us how that goes... (and this is why selling parts of the car will bring you more profit rather than selling the car altogether.. because parts cost more than the whole thing! (i dunno why my door equals the price of the whole car.. haha)

We ordered the doors.. they're costing us 400 each door.
We do live with our parents.. I'm 16 and my brother is 18.
We've hid it for about a week and a half now. The doors are coming in on Friday.

We just parked the scratched side facing this one gate covered in vines or whatnot. It's off to the side.. so nobody really goes there unless you want to get into the car.
We're getting the doors tomorrow.. so just one more day.
