The background: I wish I had pictures to cover the carnage
So last Saturday I picked up my new stand for my turntables from my favorite record store in Seattle. I had to bring it home in the R becuase the Bronco is in the shop. I get home and I am unloading the table when I accidentally hit the e-brake handle pretty hard and my baby started its decent down my driveway and uncontrollably into my garage. I scrapped my car down the entire passenger side door and I pulled the e-brake up just in time to save the passenger side mirror.
The scratch was horrific, but it wasn't deep so I took it to a high end detail shop for buffing, emulsifying, spot painting, reduce and a back out. The bill came to 915 dollars. They made my disaster a miracle even before it went to paint but..... They backed into a pole getting it into the paint booth!!!! =0(. They have to replace the bumper and the panel directly above the bumper.
I figured I would give them the chance to fix it before I do anything.... but I don't really know what to do.
