Ouch... did you get the oil-change damage fixed, or are you going to have to deal with that still too?Originally Posted by Magma
Sorry to hear about the accident.
That does'nt look like enough damage to file insurance. I would make sure that where ever you go that you mention you are going to pay out of pocket. It's hard to tel it the headlight is cracked or just scuffed. If it is scuffem I think you could buff it out. Otherwise I think they are about $275 from Mazda. I would have to check on the ticket when they replaced mine under warrenty. The bumper and spoiler look repairable.

Don't take it to caliber. My brother-in-law does paintless dent repair and has told me horror stories from those places. I've got a guy that did mine and is very good that I can get you in touch with. USAA let me use him just have to go get a quote from another shop. He usually can do it for cheaper than most and the quality is top notch.

Ed's body shop in Allen does top notch work.
I would'nt trust Service King at Spring Creek and 75. Theydid a shoddy job on my Mom's Miata back in 2000. Put on Aftermarket parts After my Mom specified OEM parts only. Then Lied about it. Her insurance made them do it right.

How do you figure it's not enough damage to file on? I didn't have near that much damage and it was $1200. The fact that he has to have a new bumper and spoiler plus having the parts painted is going to make it worth filing.

I was in need of an oil chanbe b4 Dyno the other week, went to City Garage on Independance where they have helped out b4 when time was short, and worked on family cars for the last 6 years or so, they got the car stuck on the lift and dented both fron quarter panels and the rear driver panel lifting the car off the lift. Glenn Fixed it up though, that is why you saw me in the Mini on sat

So by the time it's painted and installed you're looking at $1500 - $2k. Probably worth filing. Sorry to hear you got bitten by the wall.

Magma, sorry to hear about the wreck. It's a shame.
I'm sure a turbo Miata is not the easiest thing to drive in icy conditions.

Oh god Shawn.
Was it lack of control or other drivers that caused this horrific situation?
