Default Damage estimate.

I started a thread yesterday about my mishap with myb 99 over the weekend.
Wel, I went to a shop today and got an estimate.$5377.
Now I have to take pictures and fax the estimate to my insurance company. I have Sneed Robinson collectors. I never put a damage claim in what can I expect from the company.

No experience with that company, but every insurance company that I have had has been pretty good to deal with. Hope your's is the same and best of luck on the repairs.

I can already see problems. When you leave a message and nobody gets back to you in 24 hours, it's not a good beginning.

Well it's been a week and no real progress yet. I spoke to the adjuster once besides the day I sent him the information. I tried calling again today and only could leave a message. The only bit of information I got on my claim was that the adjuster wanted to know what I hit with my car.
I guess I will try again tomorrow.
