Am I close?

Pretty close. They are replacing the hub cap and fender completely. Then blending the door and hood since the 1/4 panel is wide. The headlight is getting replaced, but the scratches could be buffed out...I plan on taking off the HL before they get it (the tabs aren't broken or anything...this way I'll have a spare for whatever reason

). They are going to check the front-end alignment as well. Otherwise, that's pretty much it.

Make sure they do a 4 wheel alignment. The rear is adjustable and should be checked/compared. Definitley keep the light.

Are they using any used (LKQ/Salvage) or Aftermarket parts?
What Insurance company is paying the claim?
You're not planning on going to one of their "Preferred" "Direct Repair Shops" are you???

mhadden · 04-22-08, 08:24

No, I'm not going to one of their insurance shops...they have rediculous stipulations on that anyways (only 2 hours a day at places more than 40 miles from my house AND work). They are going to order genuine Honda parts since the car is so new (4 months and 19k miles!). Insurance company is a crappy online company, Universal Casualty

Columbia, SC isn't much better either. But driving in Chalotte now make me feel ill. completely senseless motoring.

Come to Utah

Glad nobody got injured. That's a straight forward repair.

*Aftermarket cover (CAPA) fits like crap on that civic.*

Sorry to see that, hopefully you'll get it all fixed soon enough!

I just moved to Bend, Oregon about three weeks ago and I have to agree with this. I have been pleasantly surprised at how courteous the local drivers are.

Also glad to hear that there were no injuries!

anyway, Sorry guys, I take the cake. I live in Jersey. If you go north, you find NYC type drivers . South, you get Philly drivers. Central you get Trenton drivers. I live in Cherry Hill, where everyone drives their parent's BMW's or Benzes like they're entitled to drive like asses. Passing school busses on the right, pulling out in front of my box-truck only to slam on the brakes, stopping on off/on ramps, weaving, and the likes are local practices.
Did I mention I was run over in my parking lot of my apartment complex 3 weeks ago?
yaaaaaaaaaaay jerzeeee!

My parents are in Northern Jersey...they are the WORST drivers...pulling to the right to make a left turn.....going 25 in a 35....NYC has MAJOR traffic...but for the most part we are good drivers....though rarely courteous...lol....you let one person in and everyone will look to take advantage...lol

On a side note....down South people are very courteous drivers...IMO....

Oregon drivers can be nice but sometimes it can interfere with things....for example 4-way stops.

I'm in Minnesota. To give you an idea of how bad the drivers are here...
I look forward to driving in Chicago, Boston and Manhattan. The cabbies of those cities drive better than Minnesotans.
