Gotta vent!!!
Re: Gotta vent!!!!!
That really sucks Steve....sorry to hear this.
Had the same thing happen at my local No Frills in my TSX. Came out with groceries in hand and walked up to the back of my car and saw the damage and initially thought...Oh thats not my car. Then it hit me... #!@% cowards.
I was parked under a camera that was in need of repair Caught a jeep back right into my rear left corner and take off but the sequencial stills were too grainy to see any details. Same deductible as you and my repair was $1500

I'll see if I can get away today and get an estimate. Thanks to everyone for their kind words, this community really makes the ownership experience of this car second to none! Daniela says I'm obsessing (is that a word?) and as always, she's right!
As for matching paint... don't worry about that, I can rattle can your whole car so no one will ever notice the paint does not match.

To no less extent however, the N/A being hit I'm sure hurts just as much. Colour matching the repair will not be an issue, providing you use a shop that knows what they are doing (been there done that). I would think this is somehting you will want to deal with right away before winter storage....assuming you store the N/A.
Re: Gotta vent!!!
My heart feels for you. My Machine Gray coupe was rear-ended in a parking lot at a nearby winery & resort a couple of years back. Hotel Manager said they had a report of an incident in the parking lot, but would never give me any information. I figured it was a regular customer with 'big bucks' and they didn't want to get him/her into any trouble. Fortunately, only the rear bumper cover had to be removed and was repairable There was some scrapes on the left rear quarter and the rear lens was busted.
Like others, the paint blend isn't as big a deal as years past. Depends on the talent of the painter.
Oh, by the way, I've been in North Bay for past 8 weeks on an assignment in Ontario Province. Worked at TEMBEC/Temiscaming paper mill. Leaving today as work assignment is finished.
Later,

I looked at the estimate and I have to tell ya I can't quite figure out how they got that total amount ??
Not really important to clarify for me but just sayin...

I think the odd $50 is to make you think you are getting away with a $50 mistake. They'll add that in when you go back.
These guys have there own way of doing things and I was a bit confused at first and then I realized what added up.
Who says the customer has to understand the bill, all they have to do is pay it.
