Screw what insurance recommended!!!! They are probably trying to get the cheapest estimate for themselves. It'* your right to have your car fixed where YOU want it fixed. Good luck on that. And defintiely check the suspension and everything and get what you deserve.

Hopefully the guy in the Blazer will get what'* coming to him, by that I mean hopefully he'll get run off the road by someone else, preferrably off the road and down a cliff.

Get those first rims

Take it where you trust, dont' let them mess up your ride cause they are cheap.

Ditto.

Seriously, FireDevil, don't let insurance tell you where to get your car fixed. If you don't trust that place, take it somehwere you DO trust.

When my brother backed into my car, his girlfriend'* parents (whose van he was driving) tried to get me to take it to the cheapest place. I didn't trust those cheap places, so after a week of finding estimates for them I got to go with my first choice, and I'm glad I did because they even painted my hood which other places were not going to do.

Theres one for sale over by my house. Except its a '99 and they are asking 7900 for it.

Glad to see your OK!. Well the curb did bite your rim purty hard but im sure the curb didnt get off so easy either... these cars aint light :? .

Now THATS lookin at the bright side

Good luck with the repairs!

Owwwiiieee!
When my car got smashed up I took it to two places for estimates. The dealership I bought the car from: ~ 5500$ all OEM parts, complete inspection of frame, etc... Local body shop:~ 3700$ with junkyard parts. Needless to say I took it to the dealership. I did not want junkyard parts on my car. Take it to where you can trust the work and the replacement parts.

well after all is said and done i need..... 2 rims, 2 tires and an alignment.... that makes me happy......

ins will pay like $700 towards new rims/tires soooooo time to scrape up some cash

Considering how bad it looked...thats not bad at all

no tbad u got lucky could have been alot worse

Right on!! $700 isn't bad, eh?
