Sounds like you need a trunk monkey or two to help take care of these idiots <strike>you keep running into</strike> who keep running into you.

Don't take any s*** from the insurance companies.  They have no right to tell you what shop to take it to.  I've had those discussions with them, and it starts with, "we'd like you to take it to...." and I'd be "Ontario law states that.." .." ok".
<br/><br/>
Most dealerships and major shops have a rapport with the insurance adjusters too, so while the company line is to give you a hard time, things tend to move smoothly once the car's in your dealer's hands.  By my experience anyways.

Hope you get your car back on the road soon -- I think we need a wing night soon.

Steve,

You have no idea how tempted I was that night to give that meathead a free demonstration of how far I could shove my cane up his @$$, a six month old car FFS :(

Yeah, once the car got to the bodyshop and Dixie knew about it things actually went quite quickly, the teardown has happened, they have an estimate and a tally of the damage that includes:

Right front suspension - toast
Right front fender - toast
bumper - toast
right headlight - toast
damage to the front passenger side door and hood

Estimate is approx $7k and ten business days to put it all back together (It better be, my mom turns 60 on Sept 26) Once it's together I've gotta find a way to "stress test" the work, esp. the suspension <_<

Yeah a wing night sounds real good ATM ;)
