Topic: T-boned - In need of collision repair shop for frame, suspension, sliders, etc.

[Boondock]

The other day I was t-boned by a driver making an unprotected left turn. My Shrockworks rock sliders ate most of the impact but a portion of it was bent and pierced.

Does anyone know of a collision shop in the Orange County area that can fix or replace sliders and ensure my frame and suspension lift is good to go? I know some shops don't work with aftermarket parts so any recommendations would be very much appreciated.

their insurance company should cover it. They will have to buy you. Ew aliders

yea, new sliders and repair any other damage, their insurance foots the bill. 

I would visit a few shops to get quotes for the damage.  Have the other person's insurance mail you the check.  fix the damage and replace the sliders.

Did they hit anywhere other than the slider?  If not the suspension should be fine, I would be worried about the side hit bending the frame but all depends on how severe the hit was. 

Sometimes the shops will get a little overzealous, my friend had his airbags go off in his frontier, they replaced the whole frame because of a small scratch done by a rock.

I called a ton of shops yesterday and some said they would do paint, body and frame work if needed but contract out for the rest. Didn't seem like a lot of shops would be able to verify if my suspension, UCA's, were fine unless something was off during alignment. I found a collision shop recommended by Outlaw Offroad in South OC and will be dropping it off. Thanks all!
