Please Help Me Estimate The Cost of These Damages: Hit & Run.
 
3 Attachment(s)
I had my 98 A4 for a couple months now and it dosnt give me any problems.
Last night someone hit my car and i didn't notice until this mornings while dumping the trash. I have liability insurance with uninsured motorist but this was a hit & run so im not sure if im covered and dont want my rate to increase. To me, it dosnt look that bad. just popping out the dent and buffing the scratches. I also need to get the door checked out because of this farting sound while opening it. What do you think the cost of these damages would be???:confused:

Well the dent is an easy fix, get a heat gun (or air drier, but this takes forever..) remove the inside tire well trim.. heat up the dent and start pushing it out.. always works..

As for scratches buy a small OEM color from a stealership and any clearcoat from autozone.

ouchh.. it would depend on who you had do the work. A good body shop will probably run around 1500 if its only the front fender and passenger door. however since silver is like the most popular color then you might as well just find a junk yard or someone parting out a b5

+1 for just buying the parts. Time, money, and headaches saved.

You could pull that section out and take it to a body shop. . The Door, could be easy or Hard. Aligment.

the scratches you see at the side of the car are the other cars paint. i can peel some of that stuff off with my fingernail so all i have to do is buff it out. them get somebody to pop the dent out and adjust the fender/door.

I don't think you're gonna be able to just pull that dent out, it looks creased.

^ What he said.

Like said before, the cheapest way is to source parts from junk yard and replacing them.
