Temp fix while waiting on Insurance claim

Happy Monday folks.
Someone backed into me while I was parked at supermarket.

Sometimes life happens. Even to Mercedes. Sorry to hear about it. It should be a very easy repair.

I see it as more of an inconvenience. I am just glad that it wasn't a hit and run incident.

I just have to make sure the bodyshop do a great job so this car can live on later as CPO.

Didn't tell my wife about the bandaid on the car until she has driven it to work. She didn't find it as funny

" I am just glad that it wasn't a hit and run incident".

What was it then as obviously the "hitter" was not there to explain what happened?

They were checking the damage to my car when my wife and I returned from the supermarket just in time.

Me: "uh .... what are you going?"
Girl 1: "oh ... sorry we just hit your car"
Me: "s**t ... lets see some insurance"

Picked it up from the bodyshop this weekend.
Great job performed by Brotman Auto Body in Los Angeles

Looks nice and clean ... just the same way as out of the factory door. Congrats of a body shop experience!
