Well since I did such a great job on my Coronet as I learned how to do paint and body someone leaves their car in neutral at work and it rolls into my 2010 Civic during the day sometime yesterday.... First time I have had damage to my vehicles in 35 years.... Yes insurance will take car of it but just a few questions...
1) Honda no longer makes that particular door that got hit... It is available from places that have them in stock but you can't order one from Honda anymore. Skins are still available. It hit only the center of the passengers door and caved it in. nothing else was damaged. How should a body shop handle this? I say just buy a $500 door and be done with it.
2) How should the paint be matched? Just paint the door that is damaged or blend it out into the fender and rear door?
3) Should I insist on UC or euroClear
4) Should I just do it
5) Wow these new cars are flimsy after working on the Coronet. I removed the door panel to knock the cave in back out a bit so it was not quite to unsightly. Like a tin can...
