Got into my first ever car accident today! I was driving down on the far right lane of a street, and all the sudden a girl in a ford f150 jetted out of the entrance to a residential area making a left and i head on collision onto the main body of the truck. My whole front is gone, lip kit, fog lights, driver headlight, hids, bumper, fender, intake and the reinforcement bars complety destroyed. So the cops came, and she addmited to not looking to her left. Car is still drivable, im just afraid of frame damage= salvaged.

But now i need a body shop to give me a good estimate, and i need them to be legit professionals and close to dealership repair. I have back injuries and my left arm is stiffed up, so imma claim injury and hopefully ill get more money than needed to fix up my fit + some extra goodies. Anyone have any suggestions where to get my fit restored at? * ill post pics in the morning**

 

so sad...so very sad.

 

isnt there someone on socalprelude that knows a well known body shop in the OC area? i remember reading a thread about it but im not sure. go to the the shop reviews area

 

Sorry to hear about the accident and you plus your car are now hurt. Hope you can get it repaired and will be well compensated for your injuries. Good thing she admitted that it was her fault that way you don't have to fight that issue.

Cat :x

 

pics are uploaded.. thanks guys. imma check out this place called auto import pros, maybe they can do something

 

I'm sorry to hear what happened man. Good thing she admitted her mistake though.

Anyhow if you're looking for a good honest mechanic, check out elite automotive services. Elite Automotive Services - Irvine, CA Tell them that Kevin sent you, the guy with the silver honda fit. I'm friends with all of the workers there. And they'll give you a good deal on parts. They get discounts from dealer parts and they can also paint ur parts too.

Lemme know if you need anything else man. and Good luck!

 

ruh roh! jdm conversion?

 

hmm ill check out that place too if i cant find anything closer to my area cause i dont know how imma get my fit there. But would they be willing to to fuk around with insurance and say it cost more to fix than it actually does? haha so i can get more money.

 

forsure, then u can get a mugen lip/bumper :P but yeah if ur looking for good guys check elite auto out

 

dam that sucks, atleast your ok. keep us posted on what happens next.

 

good to hear your okay man

 

Glad to hear you are ok but I think your fit might have some frame damage =/ The angle of the hit probably screwed some of the frame in the front =/

 

oh fuck evan good luck and get well soon!

 

Sorry to hear about your fit, but I have a real problem with this statement. Get $$$ to fix your fit and whatever injuries you have, but getting "more money than needed" is just wrong, and this mentality is one of many problems with our generation and country.

yeah true.. its kinda messed up but hey, do what you gotta do to survive. Money makes the world go round yo. Thanks kevin for the help, i talked to them and they are hella chill and really nice about everything. Im going through them forsure

 

No man, not kinda, it is messed up. If I had a way of contacting the other party's insurance, I would and report you for fraud. Actions like yours make insurance premiums go up across the board.

 

Sounds good, good luck with your repairs! If you got time after everything's done throw em a good yelp review to get their rep up there

lemme know when you go and it's possible i might be able to meet up there.

 

hope you get better and fix your car bro

 

i have to agree with this. take a look around and see how many people bitch about their rates. the more it costs the ins co, the more it costs us.
