I was sitting on 100km/h with cruise control engaged. Truck overtook, I heard a noise as the tire was unfurling, truck kept overtaking and the tire exploded into fragments. The truck kept driving.
The second repairer said the front and back doors will both need to be painted to colour match as well the whole front of the car. He estimates about $5k in paint work and probably two to three weeks to fix it all. Could be more if the under body of the car needs to be fixed or lights need to be replaced.
I have a feeling the first repairer will fix the spots only, as I needed to tell them where all the damage was. I clearly specifically in my call to lodge the claim I wanted the car assessed. If they will not accept a "request for quote" from the second repairer to ensure all damage is covered in the claim, I will be lodging a complaint.
