Arizona 93 Maxima GXE got smacked -- NEED local autobody help * * * * * * * * *

Looks like it's going to be an expensive repair.

Maybe if you want to use it as a commuter car you can get out the duct tape and some foam rubber and seal the passenger side door and continue to drive it. There's a Volvo I've seen in a neighborhood of 1.5 million dollar homes with the driver's side door treated the same way and apparently it's a daily driver!!! Any miles you put on it are money in your pocket and it'll probably continue to run for the next 50 or 100 thousand miles that way.

The windshiled may be another issue but if the frame isn't bent you could probably replace it at a low price if you have a glass shop that is willing to put in a junk yard pull good windshield.

Does AZ have vehicle > I live in Gilbert Arizona. My car was damaged last week. I am

Thanks everyone for the responses thus far. Surprisingly, the day the car was damaged we had a bad rain storm and on the way home, NO water leaked in through the doors. A pleasant surprise for sure! :) Just last May I cancelled my full coverage and keeping liability... Now it's my word against the other party!

Additional pic's:

I thought so at first too, but everyone keeps telling me that 2 doors and a fender are easy fixes.

That's funny, I also thought of using foam however duct tape wouldn't work here in the summers due to the high temperatures. I'd have to resort to some type of vinyl product. This car is a commuter car and errand runner.

Yes, my concern is the pillar possibly being bent but it's fixable with a experienced body man.

That's a good question. I have never needed to know until now!

P.S. I found a great national salvage yard site:
