okay so i finally took my car to the shop to assess the damage done by wilma......a tree got uprooted onto the roof of my car and there was a huge dent on the roof and a lot of scratches from branches and what not....took it to the shop, $4000 including a new paint job which they claim was necessary, id show you the picture of the tree on my car but i think ive done enough whining about a cable.

 

Sorry to hear that Drew, I hope your insurance company isnt making it tough on you. Geico wrote me up for 2300 (replace tail lamp cover, the rest paint damage), I still need to get the work done. They were very quick and willing to work with me.

 

yeah that def sux drew, progressive gave me a check for $2.1k to fix all the scratches left by Wilma. havent had the time to take it in, hopefully in the next two weeks i will go.

UFGator:
where r u goin to get it painted?

 

drew i didnt know your car got fuked up by the hurricane............hit me up i want to see it

 

Sorry Bro. Glad to know that you're ok though.

 

yeah, my appointment to get it fixed is january 23, its their first available appointment!! they said about 8,000,000 cars got damaged bc of wilma....jordan, hit me up whenever

 

Not sure yet Escobar, I got a couple names from Lokey of shops in Clearwater, and am going to talk to the paint guys at IOCC in the next week or two. I'll let you know who I go with.

 

cool, i was thinking bout IOCC too, but i think they use the CARMAX bodyshop.

 

They have some guys there every Thursday who do paint work. A friend of mine used to do the same thing, they specialize in paint and do the work for all the dealerships (Infiniti, BMW, etc). They touched up a place near my headlight the IOCC guys scrathed replacing it and did a great job. Its going to come down to who can get it done the quickest, best rate and if I can work out something with a loaner.

 

when i get my car fixed through IOCC they use the fairbanks dodge bodyshop which is right next to IOCC, they do A+ work there.
