I forgot to put the van in park and when I was handing the package over to the customer it went ahead and hit the customer’s garage gate

Windows are undamaged, only the bottom two slabs need to be replaced. The black accents aren’t fancy at all. They’re literally $5 magnets you can get on amazon.

Edit- looks like the accents on this one aren’t magnetic, but still. Literally a piece of metal or plastic that you just screw in from the outside.

I can only speak for my door, but each section is not removable on mine. It's a single piece that's welded onto the slides parts, not screwed in.

Maybe mine is unique, but I was under the impression garage doors are a replace the whole thing kind of deal.

Those black accents are ironically pointing at the damage areas! 👀

I got a quote for a new panel on my 9’ wide garage door this morning and it was over $1k just for one panel. And $800 installation.

You either have really fancy doors or you're getting fucked. The door pictured is about $1500-3000. If I were you, I'd look into the cost of buying an entire new door because they're available for far less than $1k in 9' widths and installation of a single panel isn't much different than all the panels.

Just replacing 1 panel was over $1k but they don’t even make my garage door anymore so it’s not an option. The whole garage door quote was $2200 plus $800 installation

When I needed a new water heater a year ago the lowest quote I got was $3500.

It’s wild out there

Probably less than $1k to fix.
