I agree with these guys, keep pushing. There's significant body damage and considering that you can actually see the imprint of the frame coming through the sheet metal, it's a safe bet the frame is also damaged. The KBB on your car isn't going to be much more than $12-13k anyway, so this probably should be totaled.

 

this is only true in certain states, in the state of oregon, you are required to first try "industry equivalent" parts.

 

but regardless i am surprised how low the quoted you, i got $9,800 for this. granted they gave me $2,700 for a new wheel and coilovers.

 

Wow, sorry for all the miss spelling and typo's in my last few post, Stupid i phone.

s2sik, yes it is state by state, if his profile is correct, then it stands in the state of FL.

 

i called the body shop back about the quote on damage, they said that the amount right now is preliminary. They need to start taking the car apart to see if the frame is bent and anything else they missed is damaged which im praying for

 

so on my way home from work tonight at about eight o'clock guess what i see sitting out in the open in front of the body shop, my car!!!!!!!! wtf!!!!!
this shop is not it the greatest location just to top it off. Which makes matters even more frustrating is that the boss told me that every night the cars are locked up in a barbed wire fence with cameras recording OMFG im just losing my mind so i go back tonight( 11 pm) just to see if its still sitting there and sure enough it is you can see the sidewalk at the bottom of the picture that leads to the main road

i took this pic from my car, i was on the road. How easy is it for someone to steal my car?????
Ive had enough with this shop, on monday morning im calling my claims adjuster and telling him im towing the car to ed morse honda, ive had such bad luck with my car in the past 6 months its crazy

 

Yeah F that, pull it out of there.

 

you did the right thing taking a picture of the car outside at night. If there is any additional damage or theft, you have proof that they were neglegent. Good luck to you.

 

 

wow man... that's unacceptable.

drop that shop ASAP
