T-Boned Car Dent Estimate?
I recently got T-boned (my fault) and I was wondering how much it would cost to fix the dent. I don't care about the paint. I would like an estimate on this Without insurance. I know it's going to cost a lot, but just about how much?
The car is a 1995 Honda Civic.
Need better pictures. I'm thinking the body damage is the least of your problems. It looks like your rear wheel is messed up and possibly some other damage that is beyond repair to keep it street legal. Once the A frame is damaged a certain amount, they are no longer safe or legal for the street.
Side impacts are harder to fix than front end damage (wind noise in the end due to poor fit of door in opening). Replace the door but that door jam needs to be pulled on a bench. The rear quarter also would require the bench to pull lengthwise while straightening out the dents in the quarter panel. To hire this done, and considering the year, the car is a total. It is cheaper to replace with a similar used Civic. In lieu of a bench I have put car between stout trees and anchor to one (or more ) while pulling with a 3 ton chain hoist on the damaged area from the other side. I just straightened a rolled Ford Ranger this way. You will need a welder to attach tabs for pulling. Check rear end alignment after body work done.
P.S. Always grab low on trees used for anchors. Grab too high with wet soil and you can pull the tree out by the roots and it lands on the roof of your car.
It looks like the wheel is bent under. Sorry to tell you your car is totaled. Bodywork plus suspension damage and frame alignment is probably going to cost more than the $3500 or so the car is worth.
To get an accurate figure it would be best to get a couple of body repair shops to look at it and estimate as there could be other unseen damage. A used door will be cheaper than repairing the damaged one but the rear panel and possibly the cars frame will need professional repairs.
It's probably a total loss
