Dealing with a car accident is never a pleasant experience, especially when it’s due to someone else’s carelessness. In this blog story, I will share my recent encounter with a hit and run incident that left my Tesla with significant damage.
It was a normal afternoon, and I had parked my car to run some errands. Little did I know that a careless driver would ruin my day. As I returned to my car, I noticed a dent and a chip on the passenger side. The culprit was sitting in his car, pretending to be on a call, trying to avoid the confrontation.
After confronting the driver, he tried to downplay the damage and offered me a measly $100 to settle the matter. Refusing his offer, I insisted on exchanging insurance information and following the proper procedure. Despite his attempts to avoid giving me his insurance details, I managed to gather the necessary information with the help of the police.
I took my Tesla to a recommended body shop the next day, where professionals assessed the damage to be more severe than initially thought. The repair cost was estimated to be $2400, and it would take six days to complete the job. It was frustrating to be without my car for so long, but I knew it was necessary to restore it to its original condition.
After six days of waiting, I finally got my Tesla back from the body shop, looking as good as new. The dent was gone, and the paint job was seamless, thanks to the expertise of the professionals at the body shop.
Although the whole experience was inconvenient and frustrating, I was relieved to have my Tesla restored to its former glory. It serves as a reminder to always be cautious and mindful of other drivers on the road.
If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, remember to stay calm, gather all necessary information, and follow the proper procedures for insurance claims and repairs. And if you’re a Tesla owner in Ontario, Canada, I highly recommend Buds Collision as a trusted body shop for all your Tesla repair needs.
