Question
I drive a 2002 Honda accord 4 door. My passenger side door was kicker in with the exterior door handle being the center of impact. The door will no longer open as a result. I have a $1000 deductible on my insurance. Will the cost of a new door, labor, and paint exceed my deductible? Could you give a rough estimate for a new door, paint, and labor for the damage done? Thanks

Answer
 I apologize for the late response, I’m on a two-week vacation and still  trying to answer all the questions.
That kind of damage is covered under a different part of your policy, check with your insurance co.
The cost of the just replacing the outer skin is right around a thousand dollars.
