Hey there,



last night one of my neighbours reversed his SUV and rammed into the driver side door of my S40. The problem is that he doesnt have insurance so i need to get it done out of my pocket and bill him or sue him later...



My question to all you guys with eagle eyes is this.



- Can a simple Dent/Paint/Rebuff job bring back the glory or Should i change the pannel or the whole door has to be changed and how much it will cost me ... i know it can vary so a ball park number of the cost will help me haggle with the car man !!!



This is my first Volvo.. so i am unsure of the rigidity of the door pannel .. but my initial guess is that a Dent/Paint/Rebuff job will do the trick.



Please help me out with answeres here.. i am attaching the pictures for your better view..



Your help will be greatly appreciated.

for one you should have your insurance deal with him unless he is a good neighbours.
With your insurance involved you will have traces if it goes in court and more so they can advice you on what to replace based on the year and milleage of your car.

Than I don't know if the car is new but if so you might want to have the whole door replaced as not only your car got hit but its depreciation.

Just my two cents. Good luck :)

Greg
