Help! car got a hit & run

So, my ride got hit in a parking lot. How can this be fixed and not expending the big bucks?

Will see the insurance adjuster on Saturday.


Thanks,

A really good paintless dent repair technician and touchup paint would make it look good from about 10 ft. Unfortunately it's damage on a body line and has broken through the paint so it's almost impossible to repair without doing it the right way.

Yeah the damage is on the door and the rear quarter panel.

Hopefully my insurance won't go up with this claim. Been with no claims for 6 years and the good news is that my deductible is $0 for this claim.

Pretty much spot on. The killer here is that the damage is on a body line. If it hadn't been, a good PDR place could've gotten it 90-95% perfect. In this case, it'll have to be repaired the conventional way

Unless your insurance operates differently than it does here in Canada, your insurance will not go up for a not-at-fault/act of God, etc. claim. Sorry to hear OP.
