My car was broken into and they did some major damange.

I guess what I am looking for here is an opinion.

Initially they tried to break the door lock but were unsuccessful. While doing so they bent in all the metal under the door handle and broke the lock.

Should I replace the entire door with one from a junkyard or do the body work?

Let me know.

 

You can probably just replace the lock/handle assembly. I wouldn't think you'd need to replace the entire door for something like that.

 

Thanks Leslie.

Maco (I hate that place) quoted me 400 to fix the body damange under the handle.

Can anyone recommend a good body shop?

 

Just a Question Where was it broken into, they hit mine the same way at brandon mall, tried to slimjim it but i had my locks reversed, so they popped the handle on the outside (HAS LEARNED HIS LESSON NO HANDLES AT ALL AND GOING TO INSTALL PLEXIGLASS WINDOWS WITH HURRICANE SHEETING) any way just wanted to know

 

Mine was hit in south tampa on south howard.

When they couldnt get in with the locks they smashed out my back window and ripped out the dash. I was in NY at the time and the weather wasnt too nice down here so had some interior damage from the weather.

 

same thing happened to me and the cheapest way to go is get a used door from junkyard

 

did you submit to the ins company? replacing the door is the best way.
