Let's play guess the repair cost
 
I got hit by a delivery van pulling into traffic just as I drove past.

Let's play a game to guess the total cost of repairs.

I'll get an estimate in a day or two and post the answer.

Winner is the person who gets closest, without going over. The lucky RS member gets a thanks on their post from all the other contestants. :fullofwin:

I realize the photo isn't great but if you have questions specifically, I can answer them.

Car is a 2020 Audi A3.

A few other details:

Tire isn't damaged

A few scuffs/scratches on the rim

Car still drives straight, I don't suspect alignment issues, but TBD

Parking sensors still seems to work fine

wheel re-finish -- $300
quarter panel + bumper repair + re-finish + repaint -- $900

So total = $1200

If there are alignment issues, then it's a whole different guessing game, depending on what got nudged out of tolerence.

This is causing memories of VIP Auto to come up (the auto body dude who drove someone's car around, got caught due to the camera, then tried to deny it). Whose car was it again? This was in 2015 or 2016 I think.

$2500!

bcrdukes 03-25-2025 07:13 AM

Ouch, sorry to hear. Hope you are okay.

I want to say somewhere in the $6500 range, assuming no issues with suspension.

AstulzerRZD 03-25-2025 08:59 AM

looks fucked, part out

EvoFire 03-25-2025 09:02 AM

It highly depends on which shop you send it to. Also do you have PPF?

I'd say blend door bumper, plus the dent pull and repair, you are probably looking at $4500

Add 1200 if you have PPF.

Qmx323 03-25-2025 09:42 AM

Fuck, sorry to hear this happened to you man.

QP damage is PRICEY.

Bumper will be replaced.

I'm guesstimating a repair of $5800

mikemhg 03-25-2025 09:44 AM

$3500

pastarocket 03-25-2025 09:52 AM

$6000

underscore 03-25-2025 11:07 AM

These things always end up costing way more than I expect, so I'll say $8350.
