Ah, that made the last half hour go by quickly.
just so you know- almost every car repair requires a supplement. It's a rare accident that doesn't have a supplement tacked on to the original estimate. But most ins. company's are real quick about work approval and most shops will get the original estimate check and the supplement check at the same time.If he finds additional damage the appraiser didn't see when he tears the car down he will handle the appraiser meetings himself and get them to cover it
Emo rarely has a car waiting in his stalls just on a supplement approval.

I had one of those nightmare ones...My daughter was helping a friend with their horses when they had one of those freak summer hail storms...they were busy getting the horses inside the barn and her truck got the total beat out of it...broke all the windows out, destroyed the hood and roof and one side of the truck...
The appraiser wanted to pull all the dents and Scott kept telling him the roof and hood were beyond pulling...the appraiser insisted so scott agreed to go ahead and try...he had to have like 4 meetings with the guy over about a 10 day period to prove they were beyond repair...he finally went over that appraisers head and got his boss to look at it who immediately agreed that the roof and hood were beyond repair...I never even had to get involved...
WTF! How big is the hail down there in Texas?!
Biggest I've ever seen is Softball size. You don't want to see what that will do to a house much less a truck.
Those that tagged my daughters truck were about 1 1/4- 1 1/2 inches. Had one go straight through the expanded metal sattelite dish at the ranch about 15 years ago that made a perfect 5" bullet hole right through it...
F*rs hurt to
You missed the post I made after riding my bike through a hailstorm. That was some crazy .
Oh, we can find it.
, I even sent it to somebody over PM.
those big ers will kill the out of you...I was out on a ranch north of Marathon about 10 years ago when one came through with about 3" hail...broke all the glass out of the house, ruined the roof...we drove the ranch when it was over and had 2 horses and a cow dead...
your appraiser was dumb as !!You CAN NOT pull that many dents...
99.9% of hail dents are filled not pulled>straightened>filled. Becasue once you've bent the metal it;s allready weakend, and trying to pull it back weakens it that mush more.... which is acceptable for 1 dent or a few .. but not for entire panels dented beyond identification.
Good thing there are guys like Scott out there... and what kind of ins. company has this appraiser anyway? so I can stay away from them?
Not to mention that a hood is the toughest part to work on and have it come out straight.. you have to have Mr. miagi type skills to do major repair on a hood and make it not noticeable.
Collision One just fixed my husband's TT and did a fantastic job, plus they guarantee their work forever.
Doesn't matter anyway, cuz after the 20th we no longer own it.
haha, you said tt
