Coworker backed into me in the parking lot, bumper cover has a big gouge in it and will probably need to be replaced. Hood will need some attention too. Who’s the go-to shop? Zeons? I may end up just replacing the cover myself, but I at least want a second opinion/quote in case the guy’s insurance lowballs me

I’m sure you’ll get plenty of people to vouch for Zeon’s. My sister was very pleased with them for her 01 Civic. Her front fender, hood, bumper, and driver side light all got smashed by a hit and run.

They gave me a number, I don’t know if it’s fair or not since I have no point of reference, I’ll stop by Zeons tomorrow as I’ll be out that way and see what they say

Bump

I ran over a damn muffler on the 290 a few weeks back and have been getting estimates.

Autobahn wanted 900 to repair my bumper cover.  
Gates on Youngs is around 1.4k to replace it.

I figured I would aske here to see if anyone knows someone to work on the euro trash. 🙂 2011 MB C300.

Its not really major damage. If I had half a clue, I might attempt it myself. This could end up being my 1st insurance claim ever and I’m old.

Comments and ridicule welcome.

Aero Collision in Lancaster. Ken will fix it right. No idea on cost because anytime I’ve had body work that wasn’t my concern since it was an insurance job and I just wanted it fixed perfect.
