Poor Yaris

Doesn't seem to be any damage at the very bottom. Hopefully it can be fixed.
I drove it home, it drives normally.

Insurance company said "fix it, we're gonna sue the guy that ran into you".

Goes to the body shop on Tuesday. Hope they can fix it, it only has 72,000 miles and I love that car.

What a bummer. Wish you the best and hopefully there won't be any hassles getting it fixed. Let us know what happens. Good luck!

Yikes! As bad as that crumple is, the door and rear quarter panel still appear to be perfectly aligned, and the door gap looks perfect.

Let us know how it turns out. I'd like to see a photo when it's all done.

The red truck in the background is what hit the Yaris

I've noticed that also, all the lines are aligned. All the inside panels are perfect. No sign of damage from inside.

Lucky I still have full coverage insurance on it. Goes to the body shop Tuesday.

I'll try to get pics during the repair process. Will get a pic when done.

Its in the shop

Looks like they are doing it right, can't wait to get it back.

Holy shit! Hard to believe the body work involved doesn't exceed the value of the car.

[justanotherdrunk]

WOW! amazed it wasn't (financially) totaled

[Ranger SVO]

The repair will cost a total of 4,854.15. My deductible is $500. My insurance company told me I would get that back after they sue the person (and his insurance) who ran into my car. They said I would get my $500 back 4 -6 weeks after my car is fixed.

All the replacement panels and parts are there, I saw them. Its going together. The repair shop said it would be done Friday (April 12) or Monday (April 15). I can't wait, I miss my Yaris.

The repair shop did inform me that new panels for the Yaris are not available. This panel is cut and fitted to the car

All marked areas are imperfections that will be repaired prior to paint. Looks like they are moving right along. Looks like the lines are perfect.

Cool stuff. Fit looks good. Always wondered how they fixed rear quarter panel.

Nice job they did there!

I have a lot of respect for the guys that do bodywork. It isn't easy and its a lot of hard work. I'm really surprised your insurance gave the go ahead for repair and didn't write it off. I've seen cars written off for want of a bumper and a headlight...

Frankenyaris!

You could have also simply done this:

Looks like that shop knows what they're doing. That's awesome.

[justanotherdrunk]

love the bolt to the brake drum custom jack stand

[zimmer]

That's one pretty good shop, the price is very competitive either.

GEICO recommended this shop. I was a little leery until I went online and checked their reviews. Their reviews were awesome, simply outstanding. I get updates every day, and pictures when requested. When I visited the shop, they showed me the car, explained everything that was being done. And how do they keep that shop so clean?

Oh, and I was just informed that a check for my deductible will be sent out Friday. Nice, its all coming together.

[Leegamer]

I have to say getting to see that cutaway of the rear quarter structure is pretty cool.

The Yaris is HOME

The repair looks awesome. Gerber Collision did an exceptional job, no hassles, kept me up to date, pictures when requested. These people were awesome. Geico Insurance was absolutely hassle free.

The car was completely spotless when we picked it up. Amazing

Can't wash or wax the car for 90 days, seriously!!! That's gonna be tough

[Leegamer]

Looks new! Congrats

Very surprised that vehicle was fixed due to its age and cost of repair.

[Freestylin]

Glad she's back in your arms! The body shop did really great work!

Very surprised that vehicle was fixed due to its age and cost of repair.

And I was very happy that it was fixed. Love that Yaris. Was going to trade it in when I bought my 2012 Honda. Was going to trade it when I bought my 2013 Sonata. My Yaris may be 9-1/2 years old but it only has 72,000 miles on it. That's less that whats currently on the Honda.

And that shop did an exceptional job, the only problem is no washing or waxing for 90-days. They did say I could rinse it off with a garden hose.

Oh and I got the check today for my deductible, so everything worked out for me.
