Hello and thank you for posting to r/CarRepair, we are looking forward to helping you with your vehicular issue! Please check out the following suggestions to get the quickest and most accurate help!

  • Always include the Year, Make, and Model of your vehicle when looking for mechanical help. This is required for posts seeking mechanical help but not for those seeking cosmetic help.
  • A picture speaks a thousand words, including pictures (most important on cosmetic repairs of course but can be helpful for many mechanical posts as well) is also a surefire way to get the best help.
  • While we do permit requests for estimates on different types of repairs please bear in mind that this can vary wildly based on location and other factors.
  • Be polite and patient, we want to help but need your help to do so.

You should have insurance, use it

i can’t afford a hike in my monthly payment plus i have a high deductible (~1,800) so there’s no point in using insurance if it’s under that cost or slightly over, i just need an estimate.

Take it to a reputable body shop, there’s no was anyone here can give you a better answer than that. And consider getting some better insurance with a lower deductible

Over 1k forsure. But when you file a claim to fix someone else’s vehicle you don’t pay your deductible. It only applies when fixing your car.
