The first accident was caused by someone backing out of their spot and not noticing me, resulted in a huge dent in the lower-side of the passenger door. The second was me getting rear-ended, basically ruining my bumper and the trunk won't stay shut. Taking these two situaitons into perspective, I'm going to require a ton of body work on the car. What I'm looking to do is get the entire car repainted because I have some areas of the car where paint was chipped off due to rock salt, stones, etc. My plan is to consult with the guy at the body shop to get a quote for the cost to repaint the entire car while in the shop. However, someone told me that due to the amount of work going into the vehicle, it may be negotiated by the insurance companies to include the entire job in with the estimate. I'm not sure if she's in the right. I'm willing to pay for the cost of the all-over paint job (to a point), but I just wanted to see where I can go with this first.
