Hi, so recently I got into an accident which was considered my fault since I hit someone's back with my front.
From a glance, my front bumper and hood was damaged but not too damaged because I can still drive my car. (Embarrassing to drive though lol)
I went to get an estimate on my car damage yesterday and total damage came out to be $1900:
- Front bumper
- Absorber
- Latch
- Hood
$630
+1100 (Labor)
Those 4 are the biggest ones. I plan on getting the repair done at a shop I know...I was just wondering if I can just replace the hood and latch. But, the estimate person said that everything besides paint is necessary for safety reasons. But is it really necessary to replace everything?
I mean, it's not like I'm going to crash again if I don't replace my front bumper + paint, am I?
