Sorry to hear about your accident. It is very difficult for anyone to give you damage repair advice without pictures and/or a much more complete description of the actual damage.

Sorry to hear about your accident. Body panels are generally replaced rather than repaired --- the benefits: better and quicker results. It may seem a little pricey --- but the end result is much more satisfying.

sorry to hear about the accident and when mine got hit they replaced the right rear quarter the right door the right door jam the bumper cover the right rim the upper control arm on the right side since that's the one that got broke and the inner fender. all totaling about 4600 or so. but without pics it's hard to tell what needs replaced and mine was in a parking lot and she must have been doing atleast 30 wo spin me around like she did. but everyone is ok and car is back together and in good shape other than a clunking noise out of that side now that they can't figure out.
