Hi Everyone,
This past Saturday, my 986 was involved in a hit and run fender bender. Some jerk backed into my drivers side front fender and did not leave a note. Even more bizarre, I was parked next to the handicap/no parking area directly in front of a store nose-first, and in the only spot not covered by cameras.
Because of all this I am on the hook for the repair, or at least my $1k deductible. I have some scraping/scratching and a sizable 4" x 4" dent. I am currently in the process of getting estimates, from a few shops. The first one was $920, to hammer the dent out and respray most of the front end.
Any thoughts on what to look out for, or things to make sure the body shop does or doesn't do? Do you think painless dent removal could be an option along with some serious buffing?
You can see the damage below. I am going to attempt to buff out the scrapes on Saturday.
Thanks for any tips/advice!
On the upside, at least now I have an excuse to get matching clear side markers.
