May 18, 201016 yr Terrible day, long story short a 20 something girl wacked out on pills was txting and smashed my less than a year old Ram. She it it so hard that it went almost two houses down the street and she was driving a jetta!! She walked away but my truck took the brunt of it, if the insurance company says it can be fixed, anyone know a really good auto body place in south jersey?
May 18, 201016 yr Wow that sucks man. I have a ram to and my girlfriend backed into it one night destroyed my fender f'd up my rim and through the alignment off. Good luck with her
May 18, 201016 yr I have used Carlson's Autobody in Jackson. They did a good job and were honest. Came reccommended to me. I was not dissapointed.
May 18, 201016 yr I have nothing helpful to say, really, but... When I first saw the picture, I thought, "whatever was in that garbage bag must have been really angry to do that to those cars!" Alas, female driver on pills in a VW (triple word score). After a hit like that, vehicles many times never drive the same. I hope everything turns out ok for you. I'm just glad nobody was hurt.
May 18, 201016 yr Author I parked it in front of my driveway and the officer measured it 75 feet away to the neighbors yard. Must have snapped the transmission and it coasted. Im still curious why they didnt give her a DUI
May 18, 201016 yr Well it's not in S. Jersey, but Advance Auto Body in Bayonne is a great shop. My family has been using them for ~20 years.
May 18, 201016 yr Watch the insurance company repairs,used body panels,cheapo parts. Keep in contact with the body shop,ask them to tell you what they are doing and what the insurance wants them to do. My truck was 6 months old when it got hit, ford wanted to replace the pannel and the other person insurance wanted to fill it with body filler. The body shop if there good will tell you what the right repair is.
May 18, 201016 yr Well it's not in S. Jersey, but Advance Auto Body in Bayonne is a great shop. My family has been using them for ~20 years. I was actually gonna mention them but he's down near phlly.
May 18, 201016 yr my insurance company cut me a check for the damages after sending an appraiser out.
May 18, 201016 yr Ask your insurance company for a list of approved auto body shops that are on there list. If for some reason when you get the truck back after using someone on that list, the truck was not done to your liking then the insurance company will make it right. there are other little perks for using the insurance company's guy too.
