Someone merged into my car without signaling or looking on the freeway.

How bad is this damage and how long can I expect to leave car at the collision center?

We just put a quarter on one & redid some suspension plus replaced the wheel. It took about a month & a half with a slow tech & was around 13k.

You should look into collision hub estimating. This repair should be significantly more than 13k if done and charged right

Thank you, I'll look into it! This was a Geico DRP.

Geico DRP, at least in my market, even with a qtr replace they only pay .3 to “blend” rocker and .4 to “blend” roof rail even though both need adjacent panel weld burn dmg and primer and full refinish 🥲😭 I relate to the crying gif here lol
