i am assuming someone is looking for a quote to get money from someone that hit them, then go get a second rate job done and pocket some cash. just my $.02

yeah kinda

i want to ge a first rate job done and pocket the cash

Kenny Hawkins Automotive, west of the fairgrounds on Germantown Road. Absolutely the best. Does mostly high end cars. Many owners from out-of-state come there due to his reputation. He has done work for me several times and perfect every time.

i got a $2,500 estimate from haddocks in cary


also i need some tips for fighting the insurance people

what do you need to fight?
There are differente ways to go about things.

if i remember correctly. they will cut the body shop a check, so if you think you can jsut pocket the cash, its not that easy.

my roomate said to "fight" the insurance adjusters proposed settlement until i get what im satisfied with


just looking for tips to get as much money as i can and not get screwed by them

ive seen just as much shitty work from kenny hawkins as i have seen good.

if you take it to haddock, they are an aproved repair shop for a couple of agencies.
They just send the bill to the insurance company. There is no haggling.
You only need to fight it if they are sending you to a shady place and you are not satisfied. Or, if they refuse to cover repairs that need to be done.

It gets more involved if you are trying for rental vehicles, personal injuries, and other damages.

i might need a rental car (depending on how long the job will take)

4/13/2006 8:55:54 PM

In my experience, they just asked up front if I needed a rental. If you need one, they arrange it for you on the spot.

^ haddock? or the insurance ?

sorry im a wreck noob

4/13/2006 9:13:48 PM

haddock. I've had my cars there three different times

4/13/2006 9:18:24 PM

haddock does shitty work, i sadly let them work on a car once.

4/13/2006 9:25:31 PM

how about you not be a dick and not try to rape someones insurance.

4/13/2006 9:27:42 PM

pcmsurf and synapse are like the biggest jews on tww

4/13/2006 9:28:58 PM

Haddock does great work, had two cars done by them

4/13/2006 9:34:11 PM

they cant straighten a panel for the life of them. And when they attempt to, they try to charge more than the OEM panel cost at the dealer!

^^^^

^^^ its amazing that one of the most pathetic people on tww is trying to insult others
