Once I recieve his formal estimate, I plan to contest it with AT LEAST three estimates from reputable body shops, which will all suggest the quarter replacement. I do hope for the best, as I would like the quarter replaced, along with the rear bumper cover and the lens which cracked along the bottom. (Overlooked by adjuster.)
More details as they develop. |
Mike-
I somewhat agree that the quarter panel doesn't need to be replaced. When my dad backed into my green 95 in the driveway some years ago, I was given two options by the adjuster. Either the car would be totaled, or I would agree to have the quarter panel repaired and the car wouldn't be totaled.
