Repairing a G (sedan)

I am in Houston. I got t-boned at low speed and had ~$9,000 worth of damage.

I chose to have it repaired at Malones Paint and Body Shop in Houston. Car went in to the shop beginning of Dec and still waiting... Apparantly the repair is delayed while they wait on OEM parts from Infiniti to be delivered- they are waiting on OEM airbag / restraint system parts (side air bags). They only order OEM thru Infiniti.

I want my baby back! - any suggestions on how to get things moving?

Holy Crap Andy! It seems you're ok that's good to hear! Sorry about the car..I wish i could offer suggestions on how to speed things up but unfortunately when the shops i've dealt with order OEM parts it usually takes a bit of time...Is insurance paying for this or out of pocket from the person?

All I can recommend is let them take their time. It will come out better that way. My 03 Pathfinder took over 1 month to fix and it had 15k of damage up front.

Insurance is paying - going after the other guys insurance.

It's a catch-22, you want them to hurry up, but you want them to take the time to do it right.
