Body Shop Question if you Please.

[curling]

I have so far got 13k from the insurance company to fix my ole lady's suburban. The shop said they wanted it. I think if I paid them all of it up front they will take their time fixing it.

payment upon completion, its the only way to go.
Some friends of the family had a 2003 caddy smashed up. The insurance wouldnt total it. It ended up taking 6 months and 60,000 to fix, and was never quite as good a new. The car origionally cost 50k.
You do the math.

Never sign the check over to the body shop. it's your money.

Is that the Chevy dealer shop? Or are you taking it to another shop?

I work at a car dealership & our BS recieves payment when work is completed. (They talk with your insurance to ensure that they will get it)

Most of the time the insurance will issue the cheque payable to you & the BS.

What a bummer. Your lucky you had full coverage--I had a tricked out toyota 4x4 and the day I took full coverage off the wife wrecked it and there it sits next to the shop.

Anyways--try avoiding payment up front--and if all else fails only a partial payment. Also--Dont tell them how much you got, or just say you dont know yet and get estimates. Afterwards you may say something like I only got 10k and theres a small chance u could make $ on the deal depending on the shops in ur area. Of course be straight forward about wanting the job done right. If you say u got 13k--you'll spend 13k. If not more.

Do not give them the money until they finish the work.
