Thank you 3-A's auto body parts because you saved me a ton of money on my car repair project!
OK so, I have a Toyota Matrix XR sport's edition.
One day I was driving and rear ended a Ford F-150 that decided to slam on his breaks for no good reason, anyhow ended up with the front of my car under the bed of his truck.
Yeah, I had a 500 insurance deductible, got a few estimates ranging from 1500-3500.
I decided to fix it myself, my boy toy at the time found this shop and we ordered a BRAND NEW stock hood specifically for my car model. It only took four days and they had it in for me!
Beautiful, just needed to be primed, painted and sealed.
My brand new hood cost me $90.
Along with a few other fixes such as banging out dents, paint and an awesome custom grill I ordered on EBay my car was fixed looking like new all for $360.00 by doing it myself. Which was even less than my $500 insurance deductible. Done deal baby.
Yeah I was proud of myself for this car project :)
