What insurance company do you have? I want to make aure that I am insured with someone else, so my rates won't go up paying for your custom paint job.

I would think the dealership would be pretty expensive.

Most insurance companies have set repair costs. Settlement for claims are based on the damage adjustors determine during inspections plus any additional discoveries by the body shop which might have been missed or obstructed by the damage. In most cases body shops conforms to the insurance companies' figures and are not likely to risk being accused of fraud to accomodate a prospective client's wishes.

No kidding. I hope you're not in the state of Ohio or insured w/ Nationwide and increasing my rates. If insurance fraud was a Fortune 500 company, it would be ranked in the top 10... thanks for contributing to the problem. I hope your insurance adjuster does everything in his power to PDR your car.

I've seen some jawbreaker size hail in the news for Alabama, but how much damage is actually there? Why not move your car into the garage for such a storm?
