I've been there too!
I resolved it by going to their shop every day to "see how it's going"
It worked.

Good luck!

I had the same problem with my older vette. Yank the car! Start over find a shop that has the respect the car needs. Sixty4.

It's complicated now since they have done some work and have some/all of the parts. They are not just going to let him take it somewhere else without getting paid for whatever they have done. Have they gotten any money yet?

[QUOTE=Mike Mercury]I know this doesn't help you at this point... but never say that again. It always seems to be taken to an extreme.=QUOTE]

Yes, that is lesson to be learned here.The words "not in a hurry"will be remembered when all else is forgotten.Don't ever use those words when you go to a shop.They can never be a benefit you.As for now just stop in every chance you get.Don't be ugly.Just walking in the door on a regular basis will be enough to put your car at the head of the list.

Sorry to be so "FRANK" but I think its time to be a man and go in there and gain some RESPECT!

Sounds to me like they are walking all over you... They would of never had my "baby" in that shop for 5 months....

Yes! They did get money already! I'm calling the insurance adjuster to make sure the second claim check goes to me so they don't get paid until I am satisfied.

I had a similar problem with my WS6. Called the insurance company and they said I could get it towed out and take it to another shop. So call your insurance co and see what they say.
