Had a break in - need help

[mkng07]

Hi, need some help.

I just moved into an apartment downtown Atlanta less than two weeks ago. I only have liability insurance coverage.

This week I walked into the parking garage and discovered I had a break in this week inside the gated parking garage where I parked the night before. I didnt leave sentry mode on since I had my setting for favorite locations turned off for sentry mode but the garage has cameras and supposedly security that walks around.

The damage:
He broke the glass and tried to pry the door open after he broke it on the upper left corner.

I brought it to two shops and was told the door would need to be replaced just due to the damage on the door which is unfortunate because I got quoted $6k to replace the door + paint.

Been thinking about a few options like
1. finding an aluminum repair shop that would work on a Tesla
2. Buying a used door
3. Talking to the apartment management if they would help cover the repair costs.

Any other ideas I can consider?

1. Yes, call around. Some PDR shops may be willing to take this on too. Window is gonna cost a pretty penny.

3. Give it shot… though they may say parking is at your own risk. No harm asking to see what comes out of it.

Thank you so much for the suggestion, I will see if PDR services can do anything about pushing that piece he pryed

It's too bad you're not up here, my local Autobahn Body Werks would have no problem fixing that. Last time I used them a few years ago their labor was a very low $55 an hour. I received a giant watermelon sized impact to my hood and they fixed it perfect and flawless, didn't need a replacement hood. There's also a local salvage dismantler for Model S, sells on eBay as EVPartsGuy. Looks like eBay has your door shell for around $400.
