This is going to be the best post in this thread.

OP, you said it's been in the shop 3 weeks? Time to find a new shop. Even IF the insurance hasn't "authorized" it, what's the point of having it there doing nothing? I could see bring it in on Monday, start Friday. Not bring it in July & start in August.

I go for ....said that ...said that....said that ...said

It's not fair to post assumptions and speculation either. This thread is for fun.

most likely the whole thing goes back to the insurance company. they pretty much call all the shots when it comes to claims.

If that's true, I would think it's the difference between having an agent and NOT. btw the "best post" wasn't mine, it's the recall post

Such a sourpuss!

Why don't you do a forum search, Sherlock? Can't spend the 5 minutes? Try to have a chuckle for the first time in your sour life, jeez. making fun of my problems is my business. If you think that makes me a liar, you got more problems than a bodyshop taking their time.

Are you in a rental car? If not, that's why they're not in a hurry.

If you're in a rental, that's $35-50 per day they're losing out on.

Try getting Synergy Green Metallic painted, just about as bad as your ordeal. I think it's the unobtainium in the paint lol!!

When I had my '97 Riviera, a truck hit a side view mirror while the car was parked.

I brought the car to a dealer shop, a Buick dealer in fact, with a replacement mirror I found. They were also going to be doing some other work. My car was blue from the factory.

Side story, they called me to tell me I needed a battery during all this. I went down there and showed them how to check for that- turns out a battery cable was loose. Great shop, good tech skills, but they didn;t even realize the battery was under the rear seat, soo...trying to rip me off? Yep. But that sets us up for the punchline:

They showed me the newly painted mirror. Pity they painted it while before they installed it on the car- they painted the damned mirror housing GREEN!

guessing Bob forgot his flux capacitor for the special paint . same time insurance company needs reopen your case due to the time length . then, they will have an "incident " with the switch blade keys...ha

"The painter is on vacation in Las Vegas."

"Well, GET ANOTHER painter!!!!"

"Uh, well, umm, ya see, the painter used your car to drive to Vegas."

I speculate around Wednesday the body shop will tell you they haven't been paid yet and the insurance company will have to resend them a check because the first one was obviously lost in the mail, as all checks get lost in the mail the first time.
