Any advice...   how much will this cost me...  I am very upset as I love my car like my life...  Now I am worried about the cost...

Answer
Hi Pat,

The best advice I can give you is to take it to a local body shop and get an estimate. Most body shops give free estimates so it won't cost you anything up front. If the price is too high for you to afford the out of pocket expense you will need to contact your insurance agent and get him/her involved. After all that's why we pay for auto insurance. Good luck and I hope this helps.
