I through I was on drugs or something but too bad I wasn't. No note was left on my car so now I'm left with a huge dent yay.....

Only had the car for 3months, must be attracted to damage.


How much do you guys think it will cost and is it better to go through insurence?

Man that sucks.
As to how much it will cost to go through insurance, that really depends on the kind of policy that you have and what your excess is!
That will vary greatly depending on your age and time that you've held a comprehensive insurance.
It will prob still be cheaper than paying for the repairs out of pocket.
I recently put a small crack in my rear bumper and was quoted $1000.00.
They were simply going to replace the whole thing.
Luckily i found someone to repair the damge for $300.00
Looks as good as new.
Explore all your options is what i'm getting at i guess (just in a long winded way).
GOOD LUCK.

Sorry to hear about that mate its very upsetting when you see damage to your car.
I'd go and get a quote off several panel beaters if possible then weigh in whether it's best to go thru insurance after recieving quotes.
Personally if it's under a $1000 i would just pay it myself.
Best of luck let us know how you go
