$1000 excess? perhaps you are better doing the work yourself/paying to get it done at least then it won't bump your insurance up even higher

Owch... Was that quoted by someone assuming it would be an insurance job? I had a hit and run that was worse (got me in the same spot, just smack bang on the join between the door and the front gaurd) So bad that I needed a crow bar to open my door. I also had a $1000 excess, and an insurance job was well over the grand mark for a repair.

I got it done private for $500. While it wasn't a 100% top notch job, it was 95%, which was good enough for me seeing as I saved my NCB as well as my excess.

Keep your grand and get it done private.
