What's up guys I was posting this to see if anybody out there in the forum works or knows of a body shop around the South Los Angeles area that is willing to do house calls for estimates. Had an accident with my 6th gen back in October and it's just been sitting there. I don't want to get rid of it because of some parts i had installed but the car is beyond repair in my opinion. It has come to my attention that I can file a claim with Cal-Trans to get paid off for my car accident since it happened due to debris in the freeway which wasn't taken care of. In order to file this claim I need to submit it with two body shop estimates. If anybody can recommend somebody they know I would be grateful. Thanks.

Here's a few pics of what my car looks like now.

Your car is a total loss.

If you want an estimate written for your car, you would have to pay for an independent appraiser. Also if you bring your car into a body shop for an estimate, they can refuse to give you a paper copy if you choose to not have the repairs done there. Based on the condition of your car its in now, no body shop will want to write you a serious estimate because it will most likely total out and they will not get the business.

Why are you not filing a claim under your own insurance company?

Correct. Only had liability insurance and since it was a single car accident I wasn't covered. But I have moved on and bought another one and swapped in a 3rd gen 3S-GE smile.gif So not all is bad and now I'm going to begin parting this one out.
