:mad2:
now wondering if i should file with usaa and my 500.00 deductible. dent is only to bumper about grapefruite size but pushed in 4-5 inches with some roughed up area on the driver side corner of bumper. tail light as well will need to be replaced. just wondering the pros and con's. i just put in a wtb for a taillight.

next day went out with the handle part of a hammer and punched out the dent. still will go to chevy collision center on mondaqy to get an est on repair. hopefully someone here will have an extra driver side light for sale, if not, found one on ebay from a suburban that ends on wed or thurs

Probably be cheaper to pay out of pocket. You have a pic of the damage?

didn't realize the diffderence a pic made at night with flash versus a pic in daylight can make

Well when I first moved to VA, I was in a gas station parking lot (closed and dark) and end up backing up over one of those yellow concrete posts. Anyway, it cost me $1000 to replace the whole bumper and replace the driverside tail light.

If the third and forth pics are of the bumper after the dent being knocked out, IMHO I would just buy a used tail from ebay and call it day. But hey I don't have to drive it.
