The chicken was mediocre. While talking with their insurance today, I'm taking it to one of their 'partner' auto body shops. All payments are made by them to the body shop directly. I will not be out of pocket anything or receiving any money from Geico. I will review the estimate before proceeding though. And yes, I'm going to be getting everything done, down to the wiper blades.
Too funny! I'll let you know Tuesday afternoon.You'll need to let us know what your rental is ASAP!! None of us want to miss you in the parking lot when we do our trades................
Remember YOU get to pick the shop. They do not.
Yep.
May I recommend Allen Auto Body. They really did us a good job on our Infinity insisting upon factory parts.
Only problem with that is that factory parts may be scarce and expensive. Since you're not having to pay for them, that last may not bother you, but it might keep them from getting the parts they need to fix your car. I've had five different Hyundai cars in the past 11 years. I had to fix a number of things myself, and found Rock Auto and eBay better sources for parts that were as good as, and sometimes better than factory. YMMV of course.
The lady that hit me had Geico, and they told me that I could use any body shop I wanted, but if I went with one of their "partner" shops, the repairs were guaranteed for the life of the truck. My preferred shop also had a lifetime guarantee on their repairs, so that wasn't much of an inducement.
That would have cost him $1,015 also.
