I was going to add - if you want to send me pics of the damage I can write you an estimate free of charge.

All I have to say is:
And you think your smarter than me? lol.

Dude, no way, my roomate fucked up his shit about a month ago and has gotten a number of quotes for body damage (and I believe a windshield replacement due to defacing of some sort) since then, all resulting in ridiculously high prices. I'll let him know about this, he was discussing with me earlier that he's still trying to find a lower quote.

EDIT: Tried digging around his compy for the pictures, but I can't seem to locate them. He stepped out for breakfast, I'll have him locate his pics once he gets back. Also, your quote is professional, correct? I've worked behind the counter of a few repair shops during short summer jobs and lots of them are very strict about the quotes they examine.

Rayor... not sure what you mean by that, but if you were genuinely asking - then no I don't.

[M]artin - There are lots of ways to have a cost effective repair depending on the year/make/model of the vehicle. My job is to work between the insurance companies and the body shops. Lot's of times they ask for labor on operations they will never perform and ask for full paint time on a panel when they could easily blend the area that is affected. Body shops exist to make large profits - as do most companies (even mine). However, there is a balance that is fair for any repair... we call it industry standards, there are large companies that repair car after car and determine exactly what is needed to repair certain damage... they have determined this to tenths of an hour. On my estimates... labor and refinish are given in tenths like...

Rpr LT Fender 1.5 Hours
Refinish LT Fender 2.3 Hours

many people with older vehicles will use aftermarket or LKQ (Recycled) parts to save on the cost of OEM parts. If he has a certain bodyshop that he wants to use. I would be more than glad to "speak" with them.

I cover the whole state of Virginia so I've gotten used to different regions and different kinds of shops. The ones out in the country... like Roanoke, VA or Blacksburg... are a lot different than the ones in Northern VA like Arlington, Tyson's Corner, or even *shudder* Washington, D.C. (the traffic is horrible there =( ).

I would be glad to offer advice to anyone in a situation needing their vehicle repaired.
I also do liability claims =/... I have to go to a hotel today in Winchester where an old man slipped in the tub hehe... I have to look at the tub and determine if it has an abnormal level of slipperiness!

(Update Yes, my estimates are professional. They can call me if they want. I write for nationwide, geico, and tons of other smaller companies. I use mitchell ultramate - most shops use that or CCC pathways to write estimates.

This is why new drivers shouldn't have fancy shmancy cars. The majority of new drivers will have a bump or a scrape or two.

Get an old banger and get used to the road!

I agree. Need For Speed + Racing Wheel = Ownage.

Seriously man, sorry about that car. Just remember, materialistic possessions don't last forever anyway, I tell myself that whenever I break something

HiroHyoto: I wasn't talking to you, don't worry about it. You sound like a good guy so happy posting

after having my permit for a good couple of weeks, i backed up into a curb and fucked up the bottom and side of teh infiniti g35...

i feel like a stupid douche for making such a mistake...
and im asking if anyone ever went through a similar situation, simply to build my own self esteemÂ

Actually that's not a feeling you're having. You ARE a stupid douche. That comment you made to Gaisuto nailed that down cleanly for sure. Karma's a bitch isn't it asshole? But you know what, quoting you 'who cares, get over it.'

This guy couldn't be trusted to open his Wii with a screwdriver (he decided to open it by melting the entire plastic shell with a soldering iron), but someone let him get his hands on a car?

Modshroom, it's over, just give up and go home already...

 

[RayorDragonFall]

[pkprostudio]

Who cares about your stupid life with your stupid car that crashed into the stupid curb?

 

[amptor]

errr why's someone letting poor-freebie-boy drive a g35? this post makes no sense.

 

[TheStump]

PWN'D x2
(TakaM. i was thinking the same thing.)

LOL AT YOUR PHAIL.
NOW LEAVE

Is this guy like GBAtemp's ultimate hated loser?
from what i can remember;
-Burnt a hole in his wii, trying to open it.
-Wanted to inform everyone he shaved his pubes
-Is racist to other members
-Is unkind to others members

So to some up my post,
suck in, you deserved it!

 

[TLSpartan]

TheStump you forgot that he spam's alot as well and he also post's disgusting pictures of dead cats.

 

[cubin']

lol your a bit of a noob modshrrom. you're only young though and thus have a lot to learn. I was once like you I guess

[amptor]

I don't have anything against modshroom. What racist stuff did he say

that isn't good, not appropriate for gbatemp anyhow.

Also I'm not sure if there is such a thing as karma but I'm sure as shit whenever I get money for free, a month later something breaks and I have to spend it all to fix it! Also usually if I'm up on cash, it gets drained very quickly.

[amptor]
