Hey guys I don't post on here a lot. But regardless I woke up to see what no owner wants to see.




Good ol' hit and run. 5th or 6th car that this has happened to in my apartment complex this month! And the complex holds maybe 30 cars?! I usually park as close as I can to my roommates 4Runner pictured here. Thank goodness for insurance. It looks like someone backed up hit my door/fender, got stuck on my tire pulled forward and left. It managed to move my car forward and move the wheel left and the steering wheel is HARD left.

Anyways does anyone know of a decent body shop near Christiasburg/Blacksburg Virginia? Or any body shops in the Williamsburg/Newport News area that would do a good job on my car? Any previous experiences at local shops? As of now it looks like I'll need new side marker, fender, door, and I still gotta check the steering components. Really upset this happened on my upcoming birthday weekend

Thanks for any help fellas!

 

I am so sorry to hear this, man. This should never happen to anybody. I've had my S2k hit like 3-4 times, because idiots do not know how to park. I mean, I know a bunch of great bodyshops up in NoVA, but it usually is good to just go through with your insurance, because they usually recommend experiences, reliable, highly trained people. Just look up the bodyshops that your insurance offers you, and from there on, it's up to you to make that judgement call. The chances of going wrong are very low, actually.

 

I'd cry first then knock on doors second goodluck finding the guilty party. Hope everything works out! Atleast that oem hardtop wasn't hurt!!!

 

Ouch, in a parking lot no less.

Are there Security Cameras?

 

Sucks, man.

Sounds like your complex has a drunk. What time do the bars close around you? Stay up and see who comes home sloshed and check for your paint on their bumper.

 

wow good thing there's no damage to wheels or HT. I would recommend finding a new fender and fix the door.
This guy has done a good job. check him out. https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/901...shing-process/

 

That sucks. Looks like it's most likely an SUV or truck.

 

I'd recommend Casey Collision in Newport News for the work. Ask that Bryan and Nate work on your car and you should be good to go. They are the people who painted my seafoam green s2000 and also have done a ton of minor things for my other cars too.

 

Pics?

 

that totally sucks i'd be looking for the car that comes back all banged up.. or disappears for a while and comes back with fresh paint
