After reading all the stories about how expensive body work is for the car, Im not sure where to go with this.
I have Progressive insurance with full coverage and a comprehensive of $100 deductible. Im worried that if I make a claim, they will end up raising my rates since the repair will probably be expensive.
My other thought was to call a local "paintless" dent removal guy to come pull the dent out, then try to use a touch up paint, wet sand, and buff out the area to try and hide the scratches.
Could I get some advice on where to go with this? I dont want to spend thousands or make my insurance company mad. Right now it sticks out like a sore thumb which is the problem. I could live with a decent cover-up job if it means saving money in the long run, which is why Im leaning towards calling the dent guy.
Thoughts?
