Default Estimates

This is a follow up of my previous post (Got hit today) i finally got a day off from work two weeks after being hit and was able to go get my estimates so i can finally get the car fixed. i went to three differrent places.

1st the shop my ins. comp wanted me to fo to and there quote was $3539.27
2nd was a shop my boy works at about 15 min from my place Liberty Toyota Inc. he does some great body work. there quote was $4654.62

The 3rd and finally place i went to is the shop that I am getting it fixed at cause he deals with Corvette body work and i have seen other Vette's that he has fixed and you would never know they got hit. His quote pretty much encluded everything he could think of that is moreless going to be damaged behind the body parts. his quote is $5100.64

So now i just have to wait on the check from my ins. to get this finally taking care of.

If you got hit then the other persons insurance should cover it. Also generally you take your car to get it fixed where ever you want and the insurance sends a check directly to the body shop.

Correct. If the person's insurance company has a problem with where you want it fixed at, shove a lawyer up their *** J/K. Most of the time when you mention that your lawyer will be gettin gin touch them about it, they change they tune pretty quickly.
