August 25th is when the body shop can get me in...
At least the other drivers insurance is paying for everything.
Dang, they really got you for the entire length of your car. What a bummer.

She did... And it's August 25th when the body shop can take the car in. Fortunately it's only visual damage, it still runs perfectly fine so I'm driving it!
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
You're welcome!!
