G got hit by Lightning

this happened a month ago... we were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. lightning hit the plastic a pillar and the car was dead for about an hour and a half. luckly our phones worked so we finally get a hold of a tow truck in Fort Stockton Texas(Sp?) my mom had just called my step dad to come get us (4 hour drive) when i had told her let me try one last time and the car started right up.

I don't know about texas, but here in Cali, it is by law that we have the right to pick the repair shop of our choice!!! so look into that!

Wow, really? Direct hit? Did you feel the jolt or were you pretty well insulated?
Glad to see you're alive and well. Hope your G's battery, engine, and headlights are fine, as well.
Usually my insurance let us pick the body shop.

I didnt feel anything just a bang and blinding flash of light, my mom on the other hand couldnt hear out of her left ear for a while

Everything on the G is fine, she is still running strong

Nothing wrong with taht if its a good body shop.

I have most of my body panels (well my front lip) installed at our local chevy dealer's body shop.

They do good work!
