Got Rear Ended

Hi All,

I got rear ended tonight, I am very upset. The damages don’t seem very bad and everything works however I am very worried about the quarter panel since it is part of the structure and if it will ever go back to being the same.

any thoughts or suggestions on body shops in Toronto/Burlington

I assume insurance will take care of it. This looks to be around $10k job

Ugh sorry to hear that OP, I heard about Weston MB collision, no experience with them though.

You're most welcome hope they get it all fixed up and you can enjoy it again. The pre-facelift C238 with stardust was always so elegant that MB will never build again.

I think insurance will replace with new … if not, you should insist of it. Otherwise, just repairing it would probably not too good, imo

Besides the insurance, consider making a diminished value claim to be compensated for the lost value due to the accident showing up on your car's history.

Yes, I actually asked about this from the insurance provider. They said no.

If you have the financial resources, you can still sue your insurer in a civil case. You must provide the court with a certified appraisal report, whether the car is a "classic" or "extremely limited edition", etc.

I recalled there was such case law happened like 10 yrs ago or so and it involved an Audi R8

Sounds like it will take a long time though that is the problem with court cases, it is time consuming thanks for the tip. Even OPCF43 doesn't do anything for diminished value and only makes sense for those who finance or lease, only useful when totaled.

I have experience with Weston they are good but way far from me.

Also have experience with Oakville Mercedes collision - they are just as good and way closer https://www.mercedes-benz-oakville.c...text=collision

All repairs we’ve had done at Oakville have been great - “like new” - and never had to go back for any issues after.

B200 T-boned
GL320 Side Swiped
A220 + concrete parking garage pole swipe whole side
A250 + trailer hitch to rear door
C300 front bumper fender and headlight, hood
E63 (old one) front bumper

Delvin is the manager there and a great guy.

Good luck!

Thank you so much for sharing this, I was debating between MB Oakville and European automotive. I am not worried about anything except the quarter panel hoping they can make it look like day 1.

It was a cross road snowplow pile across all lanes I bravely AWD gunned through, which turned out to be ice chunks. Broke the front bumper cooler vent canards, there’s a thread somewhere I can’t find.

I made a mistake in my list - the A220 we had repaired in Kitchener at a non-MB shop and there is overspray all under the car and even the jack point pucks are now body color. The repair still looks good and is holding up but…

I will take it to the MB Oakville then, I gotta say Range Rover’s pain fell off but Mine stayed very solid.
