Not to double talk from my first post, but you can ask for reimbersment on lost time from work that is required to get your car fixed. You should also qualify for a rental car. If you don't need a rental car, they usually pay you $20 a day anyway. Nothing wrong with getting what available, just don't be an over zelous gold digger :wink:
