[silver lining] At least they found it before you got stranded somewhere ... at which point the insurance company would have labelled you TSOL. [/silver lining]

Here's the latest, they blew past the "ten days is easily achievable" which was Sept 26 and when I called the bodyshop for an updatetoday (Sept 30) here's what I got:

Seems that when the car was brought to Dixie Ford to inspect the repairs they discovered that the rear seal on the diff in the back had popped thanks to the impact and a quantity of fluid had leaked out (this is supposed to be a sealed unit)

This leads to two issues now:

One, the insurance company is apparently balking, the fact that their adjuster apparently never looked at the rear of the car when making the determination to fix it or junk it never entering their alleged minds.

Two, despite me telling the towing vehicle (owned by the same bodyshop) to put the rear wheels on a dolly if a flatbed wasn't available they didn't do so and left the car running to get it to their bodyshop, so god only knows how much of the fluid was forced out while things were turning, meaning the entire rear diff might also have to get replaced. 

I asked for a new ETA and was told "at least a week"

bangs head against wall :censored2:

I just can't win
