Ivy's first accident
 
about 15 mins after I took IVY home, somebody backed into her left side on the parking lot.......:o:mad:

o,there is palm size dent, is it possible to restore it to the original state? I am so depressed.........

:mad: Urg...that stinks! If the paint is in tact, call Dent Wizard - they might be able to help...

Donna:cool: :grin: :cool:

Because you said "somebody", can I assume it was a hit-and-run ?

Have you called your insurance company ? If so, what did they tell you ?

BTW, am I reading that right ? 15 minutes after you got home from picking her up at the dealership ? Ouch !

i got her information alright, but it is really depressing experience.....yes, i just picked the car up from MoS and then we went to a resturant to eat. The parking lot is really jammed, so we decided to leave to avoid somebody hurt our baby. then when we were waiting at the stop sign, this happened

I'd go back to MoS and tell them exactly what happened and ask for their advice. If the Dent Wizard can take care of it they'll know. He does routinely schedule repairs at MoS (at least he did) and they MIGHT say they'll take care of it. If not make just present the bill to the person that hit you.

I can vouch for the excellent work Ashburn Collision does. When we had our 02', we were rear ended pretty badly to the tune of $3K. Ashburn Collision did an awesome job and 3 weeks later our Scooter was good as new...:nod:

thanks everyone, i finally sent Ivy to Royal auto service, it is close to ashburn. I saw so many minis there and that's why i decide to go there afterall. But it was a terrible sight: all those minis all chopped up! Anyway, good thing is that I didn't just take the $200 the lady offered. It is estimated around $800, but the bodyshop found more problems...
