Somebody hit my car Options

[snakemain]

Parked at the DMV in Panama City Beach. I'm inside getting the registration paperwork done, and a DMV employee asks who owns the silver convertible. They're like somebody just ran into it in the parking lot. Old guy in an F-150 had hit the front fender and door while attempting to pull into the adjacent parking space. I wasn't even close to the line, so he had to go over a foot into my space to hit me. Already filed a claim online, so just waiting for them to get back to me.

Wow, just wow. Guy didn't leave a note or anything. Hope it all works out.

Oh, I went out and got him.

Dang that sux. That looks like the tax collector's office on Hutchison down from Wally World. If so, that's where we go for tags and property tax. Those are some tight ass parking spots, but no excuse to ding your car. At least he was there so hopefully he'll handle expenses to repair it at least. Oh, and btw, nice car.

Yep. That's where I was. Zero wait and the 2 people I've dealt with have been super friendly (which is strange).

Already talked to insurance, and they're sending out an adjuster in the next couple days. We just moved here, so any ideas on a good shop to take her? I'm willing to drive a bit if needed to find someone who's good with older cars.

Well first, welcome to Panama City Beach! The only personal experience we've had with a local body is a place now called Gerber collision and glass on Front Beach. Under no circumstances should you take your car to this incompetent monkey fisted, sorry excuse for a body shop. Wife's Ponitac Vibe was T-boned about 10 years ago. I won't bore you with the details, but, just no, don't use them.

About the best advice I have is to get up with Smith Motorworks on Cauley Ave. He was, and is, pretty much the only sports car related establishment in the area. He moved to this side of the bridge after hurricane Michael. Always had nice Porsches, Ferraris and other cars sitting out front. Hopefully he can at least offer you some advice on where to take it for a proper repair.
