Good thing is... this guy that Shane just talked to, he KNOWS from when he used to work for Progressive!! So, that means Shane knows BOTH the guy at the body shop and the insurance!! Insurance guy is trying really hard to get us answers today.... and right now it is looking like they will just repair the car... but he is still working on numbers and making some calls.
Body shop estimate is $6,167.33 Insurance companies was $1,947.93 It is now $4,976 (less then the body shop due to couple of little digs on the trunk (well closer to the rear window) that may not have been accident related, labor to fix would not be much..but then you add paint & time for that it adds up...Shane requested the digital picture he took this morning be emailed to him)
Insurance guy figures IF it is fixed.... I will have a rental for about 2 weeks. So, I just called the rental company and told them I wanted a different car.... 1) the cigarette lighters do not work so my cell is not charged...2) there is a funny smell in there... like someone threw up! GROSS!! So, I'm waiting for a call back on that.....
Shane told the insurance guy that we NEEDED to know if we need to be car shopping by Thurs at the latest because we will be out of town next weekend so shopping would need to happen this weekend....and he was totally cool with that.
