Boxster accident

[pecto3]

thanks for the reply guys. just an update, i dropped the car at rusnak of westlake here in southern california. talked to the service manager and candidly said that she see a lot of these things happen with a porsche (spin off) and suggested i'd take driver's ed class. she also assured me that they can bring back the car into prior condition which would take about 3 weeks but could take longer due to holiday season. the agent on the claim dept from my insurance co. said it would be after x-mas that the adjuster can inspect the car. ouch!!! i guess i wont be back on the road until the end of january next year. happy holidays to all!

pecto3, good luck and I hope the end of January comes quickly for you!

To expedite the process, you may want to tell your repairer what the insurance company said about not sending an appraiser there for another couple weeks. Perhaps the shop can order those parts now it is absolutely certain will have to replaced and the appraiser will approve. Some shops will do this when they have good working relationships with insurance companies or appraisers.

Just a suggestion...

pecto3, you should call your agent on Monday morning, and have him/her light a fire under that adjuster. I does seem equitable to make you wait another 1-2 weeks.

I don't suspect that you pay your premium 1-2 weeks late...right! You deserve better sevice from your insurance provider.
