[boostedrex]

damn man sorry to hear

[jakellama123]

wow this is EXACTLY how i feel ruffles
i get my car back from getting hydrolocked (like you)

bleh!!!

[Rufus]

I will say he was a nice guy. From the sound of it he's also done well for himself and can afford the risk of higher insurance rates.

I just hate dealing with adjusters, dropping off a car, dealing with a rental, and NEVER getting my car back in the same shape it was in. Customer service sucks and I have to go though it all over again.

[jakellama123]

x2!
the guy had his daughter hit me and she was insured and all but he wanted to pay out of pocket
he dropped off a cashiers check at the body shop yesterday and paid in full so i am so happy i dont have to deal with insurance again

[02BLKCIVIC]

ahh the 7th gen curse

[dan]

dude, if you get to pick the shop, consider T&S Body Works in Tempe(480-491-9100). My car got DEMOLISHED by a lifted suburban. The lady never saw my car, and backed up over it. Had to replace the hood, both fenders, grille, front bumper, hood latch, radiator, and headlights. These guys got my car done in 2 weeks. The new parts had great fitment, and the new paint job looked better than stock. I'd never go to them if I was paying because they are $$$$$, but if the other guy's insurance is paying, they do :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: :thumbsup: work. Here's a pic of my front end 2 years AFTER T&S fixed it.

None of this shit ever costs me more than my $250 deductible. This one wasn't my fault so I'll pay nothing.

Wasn't trying to insult you or anything, I was just saying I'd do it if you wanted to have peace of mind and be able to KNOW that someone is not fucking your shit up more. Good luck with it in the future...
