Car insurance /new dent

[daceman63]

my car got hit with a rock that was kicked up from a pickup truck. I never thought to take the plate number so I opted not to file a claims. Anyway, the cost was $500.00 which is my deductible so it was easier to not file and just pay for the repair myself.

depending on how big/deep the dent is and where it is located, you may be able to use a paintless dent removal service. Probably for around or less than $100. It may not come out perfect, but a lot of these guys can do a pretty good job with it. If it is scratched or paint chipped this is not a good option. Depending on how much the part costs for the tailight, this could comeout to less than your deductible. Even if it is close youmay want to consider whether a claim is worth the hassle and the chance of an increased premium.

I don't believe that even if you had gotten the plate number, that it would have done any good, unless the rock actually came off that pickup truck. Stuff on the road kicked up by other drivers I don't believe are the fault of them, atleast that's what I was told.

So VB, you got yourself a new vehicle nice
I didn't notice the damage in the lot when I saw you, must not be that bad.

I believe it falls under act of God or some similar clause.

I'd just eat it...I can't believe that repair is going to be more than your deductable.
