Sorry to see you got hit. Hope you get it fixed ok. I had a smaller hit on my road trip to Ohio. No idea what hit us, but it got bumper and fender seam, just the paint, but right down to the metal.
Last Year I had a similar incident to the original poster. I feel your pain.
I was in the car in a parking lot. Lady parks beside me in her SUV, and BAM!!, her door hit my passenger door so hard it scared the shit out of me. When my insurance called her for her insurance info, she denied it was her. They knew she was lying. The police went to visit her, and she admitted it. But they couldn't charge her, they weren't there, didn't see it.
It got fixed, but took a long time. Then 3 more trips to the body shop to get them to fix their mistakes.
I've had another incident recently, sideswiped. New fender and mirror.
But its been the most painful yet.
4 trips back to the body shop. They broke window switches, they scratched the door handle and covered it up with touchup paint.
Wrong mirror, then not installed right.
I used to believe that a GM dealer could do better than a no-name bodyshop, but they've really gone down hill.
Bob Myers chev in Ajax is where I bought the car and had body work done. And it was always painful to go back againand again to get them to do it right.
Now its sold, and owed by VanDussen. Its no better. The last time I was there was the most painfull.
Shoddy, sloppy workmanship.
I will never go to a Dealership Bodyshop again. I'll go somewhere else, where hopefully, they care about doing things right.
