While painful to see, probably not
that serious. 'course, that's something for a highly regarded body/repair shop to confirm from an inspection of the car to determine the extent of the damage.
Here's a pic of my 2020 Scat Pack after having been hit (twice) while parked.
View attachment 1015124
No vital fluid systems breached. Car was unoccupied so no air bag deployment. Steering/suspension undamaged.
Total cost to repair: $8007. To give you an idea of how much variation there can be from the initial estimate to the actual/final estimate the initial estimate was $6300. But after the other driver's insurance finished its estimate of the damage then body/repair shop took over and upon tear down found another $1700 worth of damage.
Parts replaced: Driver side fender; front bumper cover; driver side head light. Lots of plastic brackets and spoiler like plastic under/behind the bumper cover. A/C condenser. Not holed but something scraped against it and bent fins down in a 1 inch plus wide by at least 6 inches long area of the condenser.
Hood was repaired.
Initially insurance wanted to use whatever parts it could get the cheapest, but I said I would not accept the car repaired with anything but factory parts. Car is new, bought new in Nov. 2020 and had just 1729 miles on it.
Long story short all factory parts were used with the body shop helping by being able to "price match" factory parts with aftermarket parts. Thus factory parts were obtained at the same price as aftermarket parts. I think the only exception was the condenser which I do not think the body shop was able to price match.
This is important. The new car warranty would not cover an aftermarket condenser. The insurance company would. Bu if the condenser did develop a problem how many hoops would I have to jump through to get the car repaired when having to deal with not only the dealer service department but the insurance company? Lots I bet.
Yet another complication with the presence of an aftermarket condenser this could mean the entire heating/AC system not covered by the new car warranty. And the insurance company specifically said it does not warranty any systems into which aftermarket parts are installed. And the factory warranty booklet says pretty much the same thing. Only factory parts are warrantied and any system with non factory parts is not warrantied.
Sure in around 50 years of driving I've never had a heating/AC system act up. But just as sure as I'm sitting here had I got that car back with an aftermarket condenser and no warranty on the heating/AC system it would have acted up.
You will have to find a highly regarded body/repair shop to take the car to. My SOP is to pick a body/repair shopo with
no business ties/partnership with the insurance company which will pay for the damages.
I do not like to try to insert myself into the repair process and certainly not try to tell the shop how to do its job, but I like to let it be known I'm keenly interested in getting the car repaired to its pre collision condition as best as humanly possible.
While avoiding being a pain in the ass I try to visit the shop at various times to see how things are progressing.
Will end by pointing out things move slowly. I figure it is a "good" repair that has the car back to me properly repaired in 30 days. My Scat Pack was done in about 3 weeks. Accident on Jan. 16/17, and I picked up the car on Feb. 5. Turns out the factory head light was the hold up. Took a week for it to arrive or the car would have been done sooner.
