Re: Who owns or works at body shop???

Update,

Metlife said that the driver of the vehicle did not have permission to drive it so they said they're not paying for my repairs. The car wasn't reported stolen or missing so I think its bs. I had to go through my car insurance and pay $500 which I might not get back and my car insurance might go up. My car insurance will pay the remaining balance and go after Metlife.

I just picked up my car from Fairway Collision Center. They repaired my bumper. They couldn't get a new bumper cover and decals for obvious reasons. It's a '94, I don't blame them. They also forgot a few bolts that bolt the cover to the bumper but no big deal. I'm more upset about the decals. The paint and finish looks good so far.

The car is insured, simply that. If my friend Al took my car and hit anything with it. I know my insurance would have me on the hook to pay the bill, unless I reported it stolen.

I'd take the driver to small claims court. I had a car wash damage the bumper to my eclipse and I got a check for an OEM style bumper and paint/labor. They are responsible to bring it back to pre-accident condition.

Your insurance company should give you your deductible back once they collect from the other party.
