<prompt> Human: 2 months ago a gentleman swiped my wifes car as he was backing out. I got an offer to waive any further liability for 3.5k, which is what the other guys insurance estimates will cost to fix my wifes car pretty bad dent and scraping on one side of car. Im tempted to accept and mail back, except Im wondering if it is better for me to sit on that offer. Is it better to send my car to the dealership workshop, get the work done, and send the bill to the insurance?Im just worried about accepting the 3.5k, and the work comes out as being more costly. Is it reasonable to get the fix done and just ask to be reimbursed what I am owed?EDIT:: Ok so I will go get an estimate from some area dealers and see what they think. If they say it costs more how do I get the other guys insurance to pay up?  <response>: Get your own independent estimate from a shop you trust. See what they say.
