Cars gettin re-painted

[Shibby50]

Well while i was working on Saturday my car got messed up. Our employee parking lot is parallel to amtrak tracks and some kid put a shopping cart on the tracks. well the train hit it doing about 70 i would guess and a bunch of pieces hit the front of my car. I wont bother to post pics because it doesnt look that bad, just the fact that all the scratches are down into the metal so the whole panels have to be repainted. The worst part is that the store can't prove the kid did it because the camera doesnt show that part of the lot, so I have to pay the deductable. Its only $250, but its 250 that i dont currently have since its close to Christmas.
Any opinions as to where I should get it re-painted when I do?

If you're only paying 250, take it to Royal Coach in Bartlett on Devon Ave. They do amazing work. (Might be a haul for you tho)

Accurate Auto body in Aurora. They paint lambos and a shit load of other luxury cars so they do awesome work.

K thanks I'll be looking into these places. I got a few weeks before it gets done so I have time to look around.

Yeah accurate is a great place. When my buddy had his old yellow wrx and got hit by a DHL truck they had to repaint half of his car. They did a fucking excellent job blending the paint. You could only see 2 different shades of yellow under certain lights and if you looked really really close.

Uhhh, Panda's dad has an auto body shop with a booth. Why don't you talk to them and throw some business towards the club? They are in the sponsor section I believe.

Dont ask panda for the quote though. Just ask for the number and talk to his dad. Not saying panda is a turd about it or anything, but his dad would have a better idea and you can BS about what you want done.

Also, taking it to the shop is a good idea as well so he can get a look and decide what would need to be done.

panda is a turd

 

[Mickey]

panda is definitely a turd

 

[Fish]

Fine. Panda is a turd about it. He will overquote you and drive business away.

lets go find this kid and beat his ass

I'm working on it trust me. The police ended the investigation and cant prove he did it because the guy only stated he saw the kid pushing the cart towards the tracks. not actually putting it on the tracks. So I get no compensation from him.
Anyone care to join?

sounds like a load of bullshit and you need to take justice into your own hands.

He doesnt have his own house he goes from family member to family member so its hard to find where he is. But if i ever see him again or any of my friends let me know. it will be taken care of.

[Shibby50]
