TRUCK Hit Me!

I have had my car repaired numerous times! I had my rear bumper replaced. I had my driver's side door and my entire passenger panels repainted because someone keyed my car. I had a passenger side panel repainted because of vandalism. My front bumper was repainted because someone scraped it. After all these repairs, I have been relatively happy with the results. However, when people with a keen eye for repainted and damaged parts look at it, they bring attention to the damaged area. They would say the paint is a little off, etc.



Do you know of any body shops in NYC, Long Island, or New Jersey (an hour or less to Manhattan) that can get my car's condtion back to Autopian standards?





It really makes my heart cringe...

Will the hole need to be covered up to prevent anything from getting wet? I'm guessing not, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Damage of the bumper. It also seems to be misaligned. I'm guessing the truck's weight crushed my car downward:

Notice the gap at the headlight:

Here is the condensed version of what happened:



The truck was a flat nose truck. The passenger side corner of what carries the cargo hit into my car. The front edge of the truck’s “cargo box� wasn’t even damaged. There was only paint transfer from my car.



This is the truck that hit me :mad: What is the x'ed part of the truck called? :

I was making a right turn. A truck that was behind me decided to cut in front of me even though there was no room. He kept on going and eventually crushed my car.
 
thats really unfortunate. i really feel for you because i have never been 100% satisfied with repairs to my car. look around a LOT. take a look at some cars that have just been finished and see if they are good enough to satisfy you. Usually truck drivers aren't idiots like that, it scares me when i see stuff like that because i drive a really small car:nervous:

i was litterally tearing



nice picture reenactment.

awe man, i hope ur making that crackhead paying for your damage.
 
that sucks dude, sorry to hear :(



I often find the drivers of those delivery trucks and van to be some of the craziest, stupidest, risk taking drivers on the road! They're insane.
 
I hope the snow melts here so I would have an easier time driving around to body shops and get this whole thing over with.
