That's awesome Ike!

On a side note, you guys have it cheap if you can get a whole car repainted for $1500.

Congrats Ike! Maybe you were supposed to get in an accident in order to have your whole car re-sprayed? How things work out lol.

I want my whole car repainted

Congrats on the incredible paint deal, Ike!    Hopefully the paint is showroom worthy.  Glad she is moving forward

As long as the car comes back in good working condition, I'd say things did work out pretty well!

The price to get the whole thing painted was $4,000.  They originally wanted $1,500 extra (on top of the money from insurance) to repaint the whole thing.

Blah, the car was supposed to be finished today but as of this morning they are saying Tuesday.  The rental is due back today and my insurance company won't extend it.  So now I'm stuck not having a car to get to work.  Luckily my boss gave me the okay to take off until I get the car back.  Sucks having to waste vacation time for this though.

since the car was supposed to be finished see if the body shop has a loaner car you can use.

^What he said.

Who is paying for the loaner car?  You can't have them extend the rental period?  Have your insurance company go after the other drivers insurance company for lost wages.

I remember when my car was hit and was in the shop, they kept telling me it would be ready the next week and they kept pushing it off for like a month longer than they said it would take.  Since the other driver's insurance was paying for my rental, and I told the rental company they'd get their car back when I got mine back.

Play hard ball if there insurance is paying. Not your fault the car is not complete.

[timot_one]

I recall being threatened by the rental place or something because I didn't return the car. They had no valid argument, but I played hardball back.

[ikethegreat]

I tried everything I could to get the rental extended but since I hit my 45 day limit, they wouldn't budge.

I got the car back yesterday and it turned out great!  It looks and runs just like it did before the accident.  I'll post some pics once it is done raining.   

The only problem with the car is the rear windows won't go up or down (well one goes down but not up and the other doesn't do either).   The shop wanted to keep it a couple extra days to fix the windows but I couldn't miss anymore work so I had to take it.  I'll have to have them fix it next week.  They said they are ordering new switches for the windows.  I hope that fixes it.  I currently have a freaking trash bag covering the one window that is stuck down.  Awesome!
