My wife drove my GTI and this happened...

It will cost whatever your deductible is

I've have been married 24 years and I own an airplane, Class A RV,(well used to)07 Maxima and 1966 Impala convertible. If something happens I'll fix it also but she still will not get the keys. I take pride of ownership with my things. I just sold my 1995 Impala SS that I had since new.(thats 20 Years) Over 365,000 miles on it and it still looked good. I was away and she and her dad took it to Chicago to see family and when they brought that car back they had the metal filings from the disc brakes or the lack there of all in the rims. She knows how I am so when I get a new car she doesn't even ask for the spare. She wants the New GLA 250 from Mercedes. If she gets it I won't ask for her spare. Can't wait to see that car after a year. I love her but she is a Hot Mess when it comes to cars.

I used to take an attitude of, "whatever - it's insured and under warranty, I'm not going to worry about who drives it". But mine is a bit more like yours now after seeing the car that the last girl I was dating turned into. Some people are just car killers.

I'm just going to throw a number out there. I think it'll be around $700. It would be a lot simpler if they don't have to replace the body panel and just pop it back out, then they have to do a paint job.

Fixed

---Update---
I got it fixed friendly price of $850 Canadian dollars, which is not bad at all imo. I don't know the name of the body shop, since my brother hooked me up, but they did a very good (at least right now it looks like a good job - hopefully there won't be rust later on).

Nice. The car has been washed too. Anyways, I said the job would be around $700 and I was so close !

Wow... that came out really nice. Happy to see that all worked out.

I was about to give my estimate of what it would cost (which was going to be wrong lol) but saw this recent update.

But just as an FYI, to me a general rule of thumb for minor dents/scratches, I usually estimate about $400 US Dollars per body panel.

I don't let anyone drive my cars. Especially my wife lol.
I love manual but I also got it so she couldn't drive it

Glad I'm not the only who did this!
