Diminshied value guy came to look at my car today and here is what we found out:
Repairs called for a repaint of the rear quarters and to blend correctly the whole roof would need painting - what happened? They painted the rear bumper cover and pulled the body straight no paint AT ALL (He used an electronic thickness gauge thingy and the car was the same ALL over). Soooo looking closely we discover a crack in the paint where the body was pulled back, no good..... (They charged the insurance company for a refinish + all the labor to mask the sunroof ect.)
NEXT we tear all the trunk stuff out to find a metal part that was orginally to be REPLACED was marked REPAIRED yet was seperated from the body, dented and cracked!
NEXT I find scratches in the rear door opening all of two people have been back there and when cleaning it I NEVER saw them so he thinks they did it.....

I'm not happy and I'm waiting back from the guy doing the diminished value report to have something done about this... State farm SUCKS!......

dude, sorry to hear about your car. :( yah, I use statefarm too, they've recommended me to take it into some cheezy place locally and the f*ing place couldn't even match colors right....sucked big time. (this was on a red civic EX)

so when my parents got hit a couple months ago, we decided to find the most expensive place that we could find that fixes luxury cars and had the place electronically send the estimate out to statefarm directly and had the repair done. perfectly fixed, no winkles, paint perfectly matched. don't go to those Adjuster and Claim centers...go directly to the body shop and have then send the estimate to statefarm. those claim centers try to rip you off completely f*king assholes. :mad:

as a consumer, we gotta be very careful... :( :( :(

I'm still surprised that you did not get the car totalled in exchange for a new one. Yours is so new that there is *NO* way that it could be repaired to its original state! NO WAY!!! Maybe you could pursue that line? IIRC, you were no responsible for the accident, so you shouldn't be stripped of your money, and that's exacly what it is!!!

Ya not my fault, guy hit me while I was stopped :-( State farm is his insurance and they are having the car fixed, thats why I've had all this trouble.... As for totaling it, I'd like thme to do that but the damage had to reach so much of the value of the car first and I'm not close... yet..... It was $2800 on the estimate then state farm went and all of the sudden it changed to $2300 now they are going to have to do all the work they said they did the first time lol......
Who knows I wish I was never hit.
