Take a look at my damage from being locked out - Toyota Yaris Forums

iwantayarisnyc · 12-09-2008, 10:52 AM

estimate for making look like new?

dang, it wasn't worth it eh.....i could have signed up for Triple A and had them do it...............for 55 bucks(yearly membership)

took me 1 hour and half to open the door. Use two long sticks one to hold the alarm fob and the other to poke the open button......

wasn't worth it....i have a feeling it will be about 300 dollars

I'll take "Where and the hell are the photos" Alex for $500

iwantayarisnyc · 12-09-2008, 10:56 AM

Oh my........what were you thinking dood! That is over $2K worth of damage if you want it all fixed right. You'll need to have the top of the car re-painted.

yup.....

Chupacabra · 12-09-2008, 11:14 AM

If you want it done right...yes, I'd expect a bill close to $2K. They have to repaint the whole top of the car to do it correctly unless you would allow them to blend the pillar panel towards the rear....then you might get away with a "fairly" inexpsensive repair.

Can't say for sure. Depends on where you live and what the rates are but my guess is that you might be able to get away with a $1200 repair.

CrazedEpidemic · 12-09-2008, 12:10 PM

wow I sure learned a lesson. break my window.

Klink10 · 12-09-2008, 12:15 PM

Damn......spare key's a must and maybe one in a magnetic hide-a-box. I feel for you.

Rain · 12-09-2008, 12:18 PM

yup....got one a little too late....sigh

Sodium Duck · 12-09-2008, 12:20 PM

Paint and new seals, yea, but what about fixing all those dents??? Can you even pull those out on a rounded edge like that? You know, where they weld those rods to the surface and use that whacky hammer puller thing?

That's a looooot of damage. I don't get what you were doing? Trying to pry the door open? Should of busted the window out... or waited for someone to bring your spare key? Locking your keys in your car is like a get out of jail free card - you're allowed to be late because you have a great excuse. "I had to wait for my gf to bring me my spare set of keys, blah blah blah."
