Angry My car got keyed

My car just got keyed by some ****er, got a quote from the body shop for around $1900 with $250 deductible. Whoever did that deserve to be in jail.

Sure is. Insurance only cut me a check for 2400 for rear end damage.

Yikes. I can't bear to see any scratches on my car. I clean her twice a week and try to keep her as spotless as I can. Sorry to see that bro. I would seek immediate vengeance on whoever did it! (Normally I'm a pacifist *of sorts* but once you touch the car, it's personal.) If the $1900 is the only option, you might wanna consider a custom paint job. I'm sure they'd be cheaper than that.

Damn man... That's really rough. Those people do deserve to be shot -_-... But yeah, if it makes you feel any better, probably won't, but my driver's side fog light got completely cracked from a rock or something on Xmas Eve driving in Staten Island. GIANT HOLE!

Bro I feel bad for you and sorry to hear that. Try to go look for other shops where they would do it for a cheaper price cause I think that's way too much what they are charging you.

All I'm gonna pay is $250 deductible though, why do I need to worry about being over charged? Or do you guys think I could have my insurance company send me the check and I go find a cheaper body shop to get it repaired?

have the insurance send you the check and go to somewhere cheaper. Call ur MB dealership and ask them with what bodyshop they work and just go directly to them and tell them that you are paying from ur pocket and they will give you a cheaper price.

Nice. Revenge is so sweet isn't it? Might as well let them share your pain and then add insult to injury by salting their wounds. :] Wow, Bostonian MB dealers must rock. They paintball :O.

Well I dont know if any of the other techs I work with play paintball but I love it. It was oh so sweet, their wounds were a bit deeper then mine though. I only had to clean some egg of of my car with a pressure washer. Them on the other hand... not so lucky, try explaining that to mommy and daddy.

Well here's the summary of damages. The dealership quoted me 1500 euro to repaint the entire side of my car. Apparently there's no good way to blend metallic silver.

Haha, goodjob Stone. Sorry to hear about it Peabody and OP. One of my past cars were keyed once, a hummer H2, I know the feeling you get when scumbags do something like that. Then my Infiniti G37 was hit and run TWICE... I am having a bit better luck now, but some fu*ker in a Cadillac DTS keeps coming to my house and stealing the mesh around my SL500's fog lights and the side covers that you use to jack the car up on... If they touch my C, it gets personal... I might have to go out and invest in a paintball gun.
