Scott you really need to get your car checked out before you spend $800 on ANOTHER. Suspension, and the issues will still be here. Idk how many times this needs to be said.

Or take the chaz approach. And sell it

Ask for the check to be wrote to you and repair facility so you do not sign off until it meets your standards.
Eventually it was fixed properly but they had to repaint it twice, and it took a long time. They won't wave the deductible and if I make another claim it will cost more when they jack up the rates in the next six months etc. Being under 25 means they will take any chance to screw me over. This wasn't my fault but I don't have an I'd on the truck that tossed the part/sheet metal.

I asked for shop recommendations not people telling me to just use the insurance. I wasn't happy with how the shop rushed to get the car out and then had to redo the work over again. Also they delivered the car when it wasn't clean the last time.

Insurance wants to cut corners, I want the car fixed properly. Not hand the car over to a chop shop.

This...also the advantage to working the day after x-mas is that normally not many people are so there is no traffic to work :).

Also, don't you hate it when you and someone else get someone the same gift....yeah...it happened. Mom bought my sister a roku, but so did i, and a 6 month subscription to netflix. On the bright side, i don't have to pay for xbox live for a year (again).

Merry belated X-MAS!
