My car was involved in a hit and run last night

ExpensiveTaste · 07-31-2011, 08:18 PM

I was parked on the side of the street next to my work colleague's house and was on her boat from 4PM until 10PM and came back to this...

I made the mistake of parking anywhere near a loosely controlled private boat launch and it looks like a boat trailer was backed into my left quarter panel. No note, no nothing. I just washed the car that morning too.

Where should I go to get it fixed near Danbury, CT?

Sorry, that's terrible, man. I'm originally from Danbury, now in Brookfield. I would recommend Carland (did an awesome job on a rear fender on my old Audi). The Mercedes-Benz dealership does great work too, and service staff is very friendly and communicates to the customer very effectively, much unlike Ridgefield BMW :-/

What? That's such BS man. People really don't give a shit do they? Really sorry to see that. Best of luck getting it fixed.

That stinks.

Shame the owner didn't have the testicular fortitude or the common courtesy to leave you a note.

Really sucks man, be patient and choose the right shop and they will have her looking brand new.

I've heard a lot of good things about MAC but that would be a very large towing bill. I don't want to drive it and risk rubbing the tire to smitherines on the pushed in quarter panel...

MAC can send a tow out... and then that can be claimed through insurance as well... Hit up Derek

sucks that this happened though people need to be more respectful... if i came out to see my car hit and no note.. id flippppp

ExpensiveTaste · 08-01-2011, 08:37 AM

The car is located about 1.5 hours away from MAC. You think they would make the trip that far?

It's for the rubbing issue that the car would be deemed "undrivable" and insurance will pay our tow bill 100%. Call me to discuss and I'll send my bed out to pick you up!

ExpensiveTaste · 08-01-2011, 06:37 PM

Sad to see her go

Hopefully I can get at least an M-Tech rear out of this whole ordeal...

maristgrad09 · 08-01-2011, 07:39 PM

Damn, some people are scumbags. I'm sure MAC will take care of you..

My luck is getting better...apparently the car has hail damage now too

ExpensiveTaste · 09-21-2011, 08:44 PM

So now the car is almost done (minus detail) and now the body shop I went to is asking for more money....
