Its only odd if hers is modded better than yours! :argue:

The driver did not leave the scene. I happened to see it. I do have video, but did not play that card yet. I want to see what, if any tricks they are going to try and play. The Toyota dealerships around here (the 3 I spoke to) do not do body work. They offer it out to local businesses and do not...

The garbage truck is NYC property. With NYC OFFICIAL tags. They will pay. It will jjust take some time. I am going through my insurance. Let them deal with the city

1) Called the cops. They came out 3 hours later. Said they cannot do anything (even file a report) because the driver of the vehicle is no longer there and the info that the supervisor gave me wasnt enough for a report. I told the officers responding that is obsurd and I need a report for...

Spoke with the dealerships service manager. They do not handle body work. They outsource it to one of their guys. If I go to that guy, the dealership does not warranty or guarantee any work. Its all between me and the bodyshop. So now just waiting for the insurance company to come out and give...

Driver door cant be opened more than 2 inches...the most. I dont want to bend the metal more than it is. The pillar looks like it got hit (paint got chipped). the rear door looks good

I guess the only good part about this is that it happened on snow/ice so the impact probably wasnt that damaging

4gin007, thanks for the input! Pillar "looks" fine....I think. What do you mean by orange peel on the black? Your offer sounds good. My wife travels quite a bit to VA, but unfortunately not anytime soon. If I had a few days off from work, I would have left tonight myself!

My concern isnt the sheet metal. Its what is under the metal that I cant see, the part that concerns me. Also, the truck moved a significant amount because of the force of the hit. (Yea, I forgot to mention that earlier). So who knows what really happened without having a look under and through out?

The problem is that there are so many shady body shops around here, its tough to distinguish good from bad. Online reviews arent always trustworthy. I want to cash out, but I dont want to be short-changed either.

If it operates properly, then that is all they are required to do. Guaranty work means that if down the road, the paint starts peeling, its covered. If the panels/door doesn't operate properly, they will repair it at no charge. If anything mechanical needs to be fixed, and down the line it...

Pics of the damage. On the last pic, you can clearly see the tracks that the garbage truck made, and the direction that it was heading towards. The driver didnt say a word.

So....my truck was parked in my driveway and a city sanitation truck backed up into it as they were picking up the garbage. I had their supervisor come out and file a report. He tells me that it will take 6 months to a year to get the paperwork filed and for me to see any money. I called my...

Soooooo, Pilots burn a lot of AT fluid?
