Woke this morning to this.
Been driving for nearly 6 years. Never had something like this happen.
I came out to my car this morning and well this is there. Looks like someone keyed it. Going to have to get it fixed. Not sure how much it will cost. It’s deep. It went all the way to the black plastic. |

That sucks. Rule of thumb here in Québec is somewhere around 300$ Per panel to be fixed if they blend the colors. If they repaint completely you are easily doubling it. Sometimes they might propose to replace and paint.

That sucks. I'm totally pissed for you.
I have cameras recording to a hard drive pointed at my car for just that sort of thing. You are looking at the body shop. Not all dealerships have a body shop that can paint. Shop around for the best deal. Probably looking at $500-1000. If you are planning on ever trading this car in, don't report it to insurance. It will cost you more than the repair in decreased value.

I have cams as well, just in case. Did you have any issues with a neighbor? This totally sucks and could lead to homicide if I ever catch anyone in the process.
Some dealers use 3rd party shops for body work. I'm sure you can get a referral at the very least. Hopefully this is just a one off incident and not someone who has it in for you. Last edited by torqueaddict; 09-11-2018 at 02:08 PM. |

My neighborhood is a decent middle class neighborhood between two 'hoods. The people crossing between the two are the problem.

They will fill and repaint it. You will never know it happened.

FWIW, I had something similar happen a few years ago to my DD. Body shop pulled the bumper clip and repaired (3M kit) then painted. They charged my insurance co. $850.

Document the minor damage (a scratch), save the receipt and documentation from the body shop. Keep that info with your maintenance log. Info is available when selling or trading. FWIW, I sold my previously scratched car for $1100 over KBB excellent cond.
