August 25th is when the body shop can get me in...

At least the other drivers insurance is paying for everything.

Man, that blows :(

I hope all goes as smoothly as possible with getting the damage repaired

Me too! The body shop we use is a mom and pop place we've used before and they're amazing!

Aw hell yeah, that's kick ass!

A good mechanic is a precious thing, but I feel like a good body shop is worth its weight in gold. Which is a lot of worth since it usually involves a large building

Very true! And so many do shit work knowing it's unlikely you'd be repeat business anyway. Most people just go to where insurance sends em which is often the ever shitty Caliber Collisions.

Yeah, I can definitely see how that would do a lot less to incentivize actual care being put into the work they do

Thank you for the tip, I have never needed body work but will keep that in mind if I ever do lol
