Damage caused by an old lady

[davbell22602]

FINALLY got the police report today. The reason it took so long, even though Progressive said they submitted the request on Monday, the actual request didn't come in until last night (Weds). It took me 1 phone call to the police station, drove 5 miles, and $5 to get the report. So, if you're not having Progressive fix the vehicle on your policy, they don't seem to be too much in a hurry. I called my Progressive agent back to tell her I got the report, and her voicemail said she'll be out after 4pm and not back in until next Tuesday! I just talked to her 15 minutes ago, she didn't mention anything about not being back until Tuesday!

So I called the 85-yr-old lady's insurance agency and they took all my information, filed a claim, and found an approved place to get an estimate. I heard about this dealership/collision-center before and they do excellent work. Got an estimate at 5:30, in-and-out in about 20 minutes, came to around $2500. They have to replace the driver-side box panel, pull out the cab corner, etc, etc.

I was able to get all that done in 4 hours, more than I can say for what Progressive did for me in 4 days! Progressive is suppose to stay with you throughout the whole claim process, whether you file with them or not. Don't get me wrong, I really like Progressive, it seemed to just be this local agent.

This collision center ordered parts right away and when they are in I'll be able to schedule the repairs probably the week after Christmas. They said 3-5 business days, barring any surprises they might find.

Switch State Farm. Erie Insurance sucks too.

I'm glad you got everything worked out there to get your truck fixed up there Andy! Just sucks that you had to do all this in the first place.

Did you eventually get to take your daughter to see Santa?

Looks like the collision center estimate is right on. Glad it's finally getting worked out.

Truck went under the knife today. State Farm is covering 100% + a rental SUV. Should be done Thursday, no later than Friday.

They gave me a 2011 Ford Edge Limited. Gotta say, this is one sweet crossover! Full-loaded, I'm impressed! Gonna have a little fun with it while the truck is away

Glad it's getting done. The Edge is a nice vehicle. Emily almost decided on it over the Accord.
