Hey-New guy
-
Going in for my estimate today.
-
Ok, car is again not back, but now there is an Impala parked in its place (still parking like an asshole). I got my estimate, but since I financed my car, they put the bank's name on the check as well- Does anyone know if I can deposit this directly into my own account or is this going straight to who I financed with?

for sure, check the impala for bar code stickers

Impala has been MIA and so has the truck.... Part of me is thinking he up and moved. I asked someone at the building if they have seen the car (this person kinda helps in the leasing office/homebody/weird ) and she said they haven't seen the truck and that they think the lease ended this month. Office Manager said to have my insurance company contact him and he'll approach the guy, if he's there. If not, I do have the truck's license plate information. Any suggestions on how to proceed or say f it and just get stuff fixed?

personally I'd just have my insurance take care of it. Toss them his license plate info and let them do what they want with it. Your rates may not even go up. If they do, it would probably not be a lot. You have to look at what your time and hassle is worth to try and track this guy down and prove he's to blame, compared to how much your rates might go up if you go through with your current claim. Personally, I can say that when I crashed my last 135, I totaled the fuck out of it, and my insurance went up like, 20 bucks a month. That was way more monetary damage than what you're talking about here. I'd be surprised if you even saw a 10 dollar/mo rate hike due to something like this. Your deductible is the other consideration but I assume you have a normal 250-500 or so like the rest of us. My time is worth 100 bucks an hour currently, so I weigh that pretty heavily - when things don't quite go the way I want them to, I always ask myself "is it even worth my time?"

I go to have my car dropped off yesterday and of course they forgot to get me a rental car so I had to go to work then leave work early to go back to the damn shop. They said at least a week (kinda figured as much). Hoping it comes out good.
-
where did you take the car? Black is a hard color to blend and match properly.

I took it to ABRA. My sister- her boyfriend's Dad is the Service head over at a Range Rover dealership and they use this shop and he made a call over there for me. Hoping it works out.
-

-

I took it to the one in Cudahy- hoping it is as good as your experiences in Delafield/New Berlin. they should be calling me today with an update. I don't think I'll be getting it back for at least another week tho.
-
Work looks great. Wouldn't ever be able to tell. However it looks like there is black paint? Maybe some sort of sealant on the windows?

impossible to tell when we don't have any close-up photos to inspect

Definitely been slacking. Have had some health issues that have taken precedence over doing anything to my car lately. I went to my bartending job Saturday night and a brand new SL550 AMG backed into my front bumper twice (multiple witnesses)... Going to get an estimate on that and see if it's more cost-effective to get a new bumper or re-do my stock e90. It seems like they want to keep it off of their insurance which is also good.
-
Yep-absolute trash. At least these people have been cool. The valet was in my car when it happened and the other valet's were standing there so they aren't getting out of this one. I talked to the guys wife and it seems like this has happened to them in the past with her husband and she kinda just takes care of it.
