Re: Bumper dent estimate

Is it not possible to just do a patch job on the crack and then a
repaint?  I got an estimate so far of $200 for the bumper, and $400
for the repaint. Auto insurance is ridiculous since I have a $500
deductable and plus anytime I need the crap my rates go up.  How
worthless.

As for the crash itself, it was at 2am in a driveway with no lighting.
The Highlander being a Dark Green.  After looking out the front and
then turning to look out the back, there's temporary blindness from
looking into the light then dark. It's an honest mistake and the
bottom line is there shouldnt have been anyone parked in my driveway
at 2am.
