(06-11-2014, 09:31 AM)willbhere4u That sucks is there insurance going to pay you? It could be fixed but that really sucks the tips of the quarter panels are a pain in the ass to straighten. The trunk lid, tail lights and filler panel would be a fairly easy fix

Went to the shop they took it to because the garbage company is willing to pay out of pocket but they said if it goes over what they were "expecting" to pay they are going to go through insurance.

The owner of the shop said my car was worth almost nothing and its probably going to get totaled.

bullshit, If they dont fix it, im going to file a claim, bring it to my shop and most likely sue them.

How is it fair that they put me out of a car and then get to dictate the whole situation???

Its not fair. Its only working that way because you are allowing it to work that way. First off, do you have a police report of the damage? do you have more photos, do you have anything that indicates that garbage company did this damage?

trust me, a trash company can afford to repair your car. its very likely it will be totalled, so id work on coming to terms with that. Its an old car, and there is no way a shop would charge less than 2k to do that, the car will probably be valued at 1500 to 2500 bucks. Work on getting comparative values put together for the battle with the insurance company.

It does not pay to be agreeable to the trash company, thats all their gain and your loss. I hope you have some kind of police report

Years back a dude driving a limo company vehicle smashed the shit out of a 300D I was driving. The first thing he said was that the limo company could fix it in house. I said fuck no. Im calling the cops first, then your insurance company will hand me a check for my car you just destroyed AND provide me with a rental until I find a replacement. This is exactly why people have insurance. You should already have an insurance provided rental
