So today, i had to park my uncle's 2008 accord 2 blocks from a court i was going to. When i came back to the car, i saw another car parked right behind it, touching the back bumper! I was horrified. It left two small scratches. I took pictures of the car and its license plate. I was thinking of waving a police down since the area had a ton of police, but then i remembered that i didn't bring my uncle's insurance with me so i just left.



What should i do now? should i wait for my uncle to come back from his oversea trip to tell him or should i call up the insurance company for him?

 

To repair and repaint the bumper cover should run no more than $500-$550. To replace and paint the rear bumper cover would be around $750.

If your uncle's insurance deductible is $0, it might be worth a claim. Other than that, pay out of pocket, and save a hit/increase on the premium.

Just my 2 cents.

 

if they're small, you might be able to buff it out. or pay to get it detailed.

 

put some pics up

 

First of all, you should have slashed the tires of that other vehicle, and keyed obscenities into the side of it. I bet it was a Toyota Echo, am I right? I hate Echo drivers. Them and MINI drivers.

But it's really not a big deal. I'm guessing it is marks from the screws on the license plate. Bumpers are meant to get scratched and BUMPed. Leave it for now, a couple years down the road put a new bumper on it.
