I was at work and they sent me to go get a battery from the other PepBoys. got sideswiped by a small truck, I'm not even really sure what happened it just sounded like the mirror got hit pretty hard so I looked over and it was folded in pretty far so I figured that was all that happened and kept going. I got to where I was going and when I was bringing the battery back to the car I see this...







I know its hard to see cause the car is really really dirty but the mirror is fine and the damage is much worse than I thought it was and now I have no info or anything on the truck.

thing is, I was on the clock when it happened and we aren't supposed to be driving our own car for work related things anyway. I spoke to my manager and he said tomorrow he'd make some calls and take care of me, which I'm hoping means they're paying to repair my car and get me a rental while its being worked on.

no worries just yet. we'll see what they say tomorrow.

I got an estimate of $2,562 from the body shop yesterday.

no worries Manny, they quoted me for the right way to do it... so instead of matching and blending they're going to repaint up onto the roof and all the way over to the other quarter panel
I just called my manager to find out if he spoke to corporate about it yet and of course he didn't. but I made sure he knew I'm not paying anything for this and he said he'd take care of it so I trust him

reason I didn't get out when I thought it was just the mirror that was hit was because my mirror has been hit before, not too bad of course, and I'm not really concerned about it at all.
