Front End Repairs

Sad times.. Someone hit my car while it was parked in a parking lot and now I gotta figure out with what to do for repairs. Any advise and recommendations for a shop that will do a solid job without breaking the bank in SoCal (OC)? I entertained the thought of DIY if I knew what supplies to get. Merry xmas to me!

unable to load pics at the moment but will be uploaded as soon as I get to it. But basically the headlights got pushed in behind the bumper a bit and I can't exactly pull it back out. there is scratches on the hood above the headlights and there is a slight U shaped cut into the front bumper. Kinda like a cookie cutter effect..

You get what you pay for when it comes to vehicle repairs.
You’re not going through insurance?
What part of Socal are you in?

dude call your insurance and follow their instructions.

Sometimes they have shops in network that will do free bumper touchups for life, etc..

You don't have insurance? If not, why? If you do have it, why aren't you using it?

Most forums require that you successfully post 10 posts before you can post pix.

I would find the best body shop available in your area. If you are using your insurance most shops will charge you what the insurance company says is your reimbursement.
