apple, accidentd do happen. she was good enougt to leave a not, not all people would.
your ins should not go up at all. the cost of repair is being picked up by the other ins co.
keeping the note is good advice, proof of the other persons fault.

sometimes stories change about what happened.

it doesnt seel like too much damage. your baby will be good as new

 

Update:

Cop came over with the police crash report and gave me a copy today...he was verrrry nice
I called HER insurance...I have an appt at 3pm in town to get it looked at by an auto body shop...

and they're paying for my rental while I wait


I was so stressed out last night I couldnt sleep....but now that everythings ettled..I think Ill go take a nap

I cant thank you guys enough for all your good advice and similiar stories!!!!!!!!!!

 

Relax! I know it's easier to say, but seriously, there is absolutely no reason to panic.

Take this from a person who has dealt with this several times (hm, that would be me... 2 times for myself, and a couple of times with others). What you do is you call the other party's insurance company and open up a claim. Her insurance company contacts her to verify and confirm everything. In the meanwhile, you go to any body shop you like (choose some reputable ones) - I have gone to three - and get quotes (it takes no more than 10-15 minutes to get a quote). Then you can send/fax those quotes to her insurance company (or have the body shops do it)...

Usually the other party's insurance will be slow and not so eager to pay, but all it takes is a few calls. It's really not hard. It can be stressing but it is not that difficult.

You don't have to tell your insurance company. Mine never found out when somebody hit me (and no accident is on my driving record). Even if they do find out, it should not affect your rates. I have heard a bunch of times that they "may" raise your rates, but always from unverified sources (somebody told someone, etc).

 

Perfect ending .. good job on asking .. if anything these guys are not only knowledgable about the product, but day to day common sense mishaps... again i am just glad everything worked out for you and God Bless her for leaving a NOTE...
Dont worry.. your baby will be back good as new in no time

Ps: Enjoy your Rental... remember thats less miles on your car

 

apple, see it all worked out.

just be sure of the rep of the body shop

is it one u know or is it recom by the ins co?

 

recom. of the insurance co...I asked a friend in town and they said they had a windsheild replaced there and they were quick and really nice..and did quality work. and Ironically..the girl who hit me..used to work there lol

Only thing left to complain about..is my rental lol. I got a chevy malibu....sucker is a V6 and BIG as all. I feel like im in an airplane cockpit when im in the drivers seat lol..and Im short and just cant get the seat/mirrors aligned....a lot of blind spots.

Ill deal tho...unlimited miles..so Ill take that thing on a nice road trip

 

Booyah! Good to see that it turned out good for ya! Hey why don't ya just hold onto the Malibu and throw the RS4 kit on that hahaha j/k!

 

When I bought my black '01 A4 it had a 'scuff' mark on the back from a white car that scraped against it. There's a little scratch but the rest looks like it could be buffed out. The estimate I got from a small exclusive Audi shop was $320 because they had to repaint and clearcoat the entire bumper to make it match. I imagine you'll be upwards $900 after labor to that fix.

 

apple,
ask the shop if they are replacing with new oem, used oem or aftermarket.

obviously the ins co will want to go the cheapest way, & that is not always the best way.

some aftermarket stuff may not fit as well as oem.

dont just let them do whatever. its your car and u may have to fight w the ins co to get better parts
but it is worth a try.

 

Hmm....everytime I've had to get a copy of a police report...I've had to go to the station and pick it up myself....I guess I am not as cute as I think I am!!!

Glad to hear it is all working out.
