Well, SOB.......

Had a quick wash today on a customers car. Finished up and headed home.
Dropped trhe trailer and ran to a few stores, Office store, Wal-Mart, Lowes, and Tractor Supply. When I was coming back to the truck, I seen something on my rear qaurter panel, looked like a dent. I could tell the way the reflection on the truck was....I always look at my truck and admire the shine...lol

Anyways, yep....dent and scratch. Not just a dent, but a crease too.
I am not sure where it happend, but it was from one of those stores. None had cameras. I know it wasn't there the other day, because I detailed the exterior of it the other day. I am SO PISSED.....

I guess I will have to go get a few estimates and see what the damage is gonna be. Not sure if I will turn it into my insurance company, may not be worth it. And since it happend in a parking lot, I guess it is fair game.
Some people, I tell ya. Hit you, flip out, and take off....

PICS....

Man that really sucks!!! I cant belive that people could just go away from that. You seem to get hit alot, was there any little color paint chips on it could it have been a runaway cart or something???? I mean yea it is big but ya never know.
 
Sorry to hear about your truck. Hopefully you'll be able to get it fixed without going through too much trouble.
 
Just got back from getting a few estimates.
My deductable is $500

I only went reputable shops...no corner places that do shody work.

Shop 1- $796.xx 7 days without the truck:rolleyes:

Shop 2- $744.xx, 7-10 days without the truck

Shop 3- (I used to work here and know the owner personally)
$725.xx minus $200 discount. For a total of $525 :D Drop it off any morning, he will put it first priority, and I will get it back the next morning.

I won't be able to get it done for a few weeks though.... I am officially broke right now....lol
 
On a good note though, I took it to one of the body shops, and while we were out looking at it, he asked "What year is it? 2006?"

I said "Nope, 2003"
He said "Damn, it looks brand new"

I felt all warm and mushy inside....lol
 
Daaamn, that sucks man.

Next time park waaay out in the lot. I always do, don't want to risk having that happen. To many jerks out there that just don't care.
 
Eeeek, that's nasty looking! They had to give you quite the love-tap to do that much damage. If you ever happen to catch the guy or if it happens again and you catch them, run them over with a lawn mower.....twice. ;)
Kidding of course, but that's one nasty dent.

That's what I like about my Jeep, it's really too high for anyone to slam their door into it. Flares/tires protect most of it but once I get my tubular rock sliders they will demolish any door that comes in contact with them :dnaughty :bubba
