They might reimburse towing, but all the way down to NoVA for body work, I doubt it.

I'm going to call the local honda near me as well as some other places tomorrow to see if I can get this done ASAP (maybe even w/out paint, if necessary).

Maybe this is a sign that I shouldn't go to the dragon, though.

 

btw thanks for the thought, Dan, but I wouldn't take anyone elses car anyway.

 

Sport auto in Laurel might be able to get it done by next week... I think they did my rear quarter panel and bumper in about a week earlier in the year. They do really good work too. Took my civic there when I had that. I don't know how it would work, but I would try to get it in ASAP to hopefully get it out in time.

number is (301) 565-4787

 

is there any other damage other than the body?

 

I'm not sure, all I've seen is the picture I posted. I'll try to get more pictures.

 

Sorry Nick

Is it just the fender, no wheel or suspension damage?

 

I just talked to my brother. He said the wheel looks fine, but its hard to tell if there's any suspension damage.

I'll be home tonight around 5:00 so hopefully I'll be able to get more info.

 

I would not try to rush a job like that, if it just cosmetic and nothing is rubbing or flapping/falling off just get it fixed after the Dragon and put up with some
at the event.

 

My brother said that the fender is touching the tire, so unless I took a hammer to it, I doubt i'd be able to drive it. I'd hate to bang out the fender and then have insurance not cover because of it.

If its just cosmetic, I might see if I can get the parts replaced and then get it painted when I get back.

Common sense would tell me to just skip the dragon and make sure it gets taken care of so I don't get stuck with a few grand thats not going to be covered. But, I really want to go, and my buddy and I took off work, and I've already paid for the event and everything.

 

I agree. Make sure the car drives straight and true... then let them make it pretty after you get back. Sorry about the luck.
