Fvck, I was at a sporting event and i was leaving and exiting the parking lot. When i turned the corners, fvcking morons were walking in the middle of the street and i swerved to avoid them. The end result, my car side swiped an F-250 FX. Fortunately enough there was NO damage to the truck, except some scratches on the rear fender, I don't even think they are scratches, rather flecks of paint from my car. My car on the other hand, is so seriously fvcked. The side panel on the passenger side behind the door panel is pushed in slightly, as well as the passenger side panel behind the door. It's not BAD but it's bad enough for them to possibly have to be replaced.

That being said, I have to go make an insurance claim tommorow and/or get a private quote to get it repaired. I want to try and avoid the charges as much as possible. Is there anything I can do to repair the body damage?

Might want to rephrase that.

Find the AS SEEN ON TV store and buy the dent puller, it uses a epoxy-like material with a suction to pull dents out, works really well. After that, bondo is your best bet...

sand, bondo, sand, bondo, sand, sand, paint.

You can also poke through the metal with a sharp object and use a bent metal piece that fits through the hole you made to pull it from the inside, then use bondo over the top. Make sure the hole is as small as possible though.

if you hit him and it was your fault, there will always be damages on their car.
