    We picked up our car last Monday, Jul 2-nd... :D Basically more than 5 weeks after the accident... Everything seems to me OK, all the previous custom setting were preserved, the car looks and runs like new... Total cost... $10K ( $9K for the repair and $1K for the rental). Way too expensive on...

    I didn't even talk to them.... I just followed the instructions and recovered the old ones and sent them in with a check for $8, providing brief info on the form you need to submit. Got them in 10 days or so... You can not use the old ones..... when you peel them of, the word VOID pops up all...

    Rear-ended... need help!

    I have to correct my previous statement as I just called the bodyshop and they told me that they had to have the battery removed at the dealer and they will finish the repair first and then have the battery placed back on the car. But the reason for that was the trunk bed which was bent and it...

    My guys told me from the beginning that they will bake at lower temperature. They knew already that ... because as soon as I mentioned that I'm concerned about the painting he told be right away about lower temperature ... They didn't remove the batteries from any of the previous cars they had...

    Rear-ended... need help!

    Since is been a week from my accident and I still don't have an estimate for the repairs, I would recommend you to make sure the person assigned for your claim knows and understands this is an electric car... In my case, the AAA guy sent out a regular "adjuster" to the body shop to find out that...

    Rear-ended... need help!

    Thanks for your feedback. I saw the mixed reviews for Euro American Collision but at the time i had to make the decision I didn't know about the Caliber... Also I'm working down in Irvine and Costa Mesa would be more convenient... I called them up and they've done work on few Leafs so far... I...

    Rear-ended... need help!

    Took the car to the recommended Euro American Collision Center which is working with the Connell Nissan in Costa Mesa. I asked them to remove the HOV stickers and they did it right away, took 5 minutes only, hitting up from the other side of the bumper. Need to wait till Tuesday for anything to...

    I think the car would be perfectly drivable if the bumper and the bottom protective cover would not be on the ground....

    I will check with the dealer in Costa Mesa tomorrow! Thanks! Also I will most likely have to follow up closely with the other guy's insurance...that's right... Do you know if any car rental places around here offers Leaf for renting??
