YACT....someone smashed something into my Xterra

[thespeakerbox]

About 4 months ago someone smashed the side of my car with something- pictures are attached.

Is this something i need to take into a body shop? If so, how much should i expect to be charged? I've never had any damage done to a car, so im in the blue on this one.

Is this something that should just be left to the pro, or maybe DIY.

Any help is appreciated....

Apparently, you didn't care to get this taken care of 4 months ago, why bother now? There is DIY stuff at pep boys where you could probably fix it up yourself for less than $25.

why did you let it rust for four months?

No dents? Just paint scratched?

There is denting. I got a quote for around 500. I can see ~300 for this, if its good work , but 500?

that's not 'smashed' that's scraped HARD down the side. Good luck with that rust, I suspect without some big work that won't look right when it's done.
