I will forward a copy of the approved estimate to you. You can take that estimate to the shop of your choice and have them order and receive the necessary parts. At that time, you can set up a drop off date for your repairs and I can set up a rental vehicle if necessary. The amount of rental days is based on the amount of repair hours. I would expect 3 days of rental at this point.

That sounds like not a check, but the insurance company paying directly. No good...plus I want to get the car sold by this weekend.

do you have a lien holder on the car? I can't imagine why they'd want to do it that way? I'm not even sure they can -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 15, 13:27 5
- That's how most of the insurance companies do it in CA. They have their adjuster give a quote and then they tell you to take it where you want that - jnine Dec 15, 13:29 1
  - I thought they had service centers where you dropped it off, they took it to a contract body shop and you to rental car -- nm - zeitgeist roaming the s5 galaxy Dec 15, 13:32

  - so freakin odd - what do they care? they owe the money. period, end of story -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 15, 13:35
if the car is that much of a beater then they will likely total it, cut a check for lowest book less salvage? -- nm - zeitgeist roaming the s5 galaxy Dec 15, 13:25 2
- get a quote from the friend and another like an expensive brand dealer who are always high er, then tell me to cut a check you will fix your self -- nm - zeitgeist roaming the s5 galaxy Dec 15, 13:45 1
  - its sounds like they are telling him or suggesting that he can't do it that way. -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 15, 13:48
Hmm.....Got any friends that own a repair shop? -- nm - tobor.2 Dec 15, 13:15 2
