Given the cost of the deductible, and the likelihood of increased premiums from the insurer, do most just pay for the repair for just that section and do so out of pocket without filing a claim? Thanks in advance.
The magic 8 ball says "YES" It really doesn't matter what most do, you need to learn the cost of the small repair, and be sure it is not at least well above your deductible, which it likely will not be, then act accordingly.
