Girlfriend Drove Car into Garage Door (San Diego, CA)

Auto Insurance

My girlfriend, who is on my auto insurance, drove said car into the garage door at our townhouse apartment that we rent.

The bottom two panels on the door are pretty bent inward and the car has paint and dings all over the front. The door itself still works and didn’t fall off the track.

Not really sure where to start the process. Do I get it fixed myself? Should I file an insurance claim? Do I get quotes for the repair first?

I have USAA with a $1000 Collision Deductible.
