Hello,
I live in California.
Last week, I accidentally made a scratch on the front bumper of other person's car with a shopping cart.
(I thought that the shopping cart stopped, but it suddenly started to move and hit a car)
The owner of the car went to his auto insurance company and got an estimate to repair the car, it is $600.
Was it reasonable ? It's just a scratch and I brought the picture to the local repair shop and the shop offered me to repair it with $300.
I search the internet and it seems that to repaint the front bumper is around $300. (The car is 1995 honda acord)
Since I don't want to involve my insurance company, I need to talk to the auto insurance company by myself, but they told me that I have no choice. Is it true ?
Any comment will be very appreciated. I'm looking for any way to reduce the repair cost if it's not resonable.
Thanks,

Wow... you drive around with a portable paint shop? SWEET!(and by "sweet" I mean "spammer")
Estimate posted totaled $575 and your price is $525 to $675 and somehow you think this is a "fraction" of the estimate cost? Sad.

What's even "sadder" is the fact that Bumper One is responding to a post that's 8 weeks old. The "claimant" has probably been driving around town with a repaired bumper for 6 weeks.
Too little, too late.
