A while back I hit a deer with my mazda 626. Hardly did any damage except push the driver headlight back and dent the hood up a bit. Since I really don’t want this car anymore I decided to report it to insurance. I went to the most expensive body shop and I was quoted $1700 in damages. I was really excited to total this car and get rid of it.
Anyways, insurance wanted another estimate by another guy. He got ahold of me on the 6th and left a message I just heard today. Apparently he thinks the job can be done for $276.25 for the same quality. The first bodyshop said they would replace the hood and have to repaint the whole front half of the car, this guy says they can "tint" the paint on the fenders to make it match.
With my $250 deductible I just got a check for $26.25
W00t?
