PNW Body Shops? T-boned last night!

[jeremykraft]

Got t-boned by a guy running a stop sign last night. Still negotiating with insurance but I'm looking for a good body/repair shop. Was thinking of taking it to Bowen Scarff but they are booked up till August 13th. Any other recommendations?

Find a Ford Dealer that has a body shop. Repair parts are hard to get. Expect about 3 months for repairs.

Looks like AutoNation Bellevue has one. But three months? Yikes! My insurance coverage for a rental is going to run out way before then.

If the other party was at fault then their insurance should pay for the rental until completed. Check with your agent.

I would as your insurance where they would suggest. You insurance usually knows what shops are more trustworthy. That also depends if you trust your insurance provider to look out for you.

I feel bad for mourning the car and not even asking how you're holding up. Are you doing ok?

We're all fine! Minor bruises but nothing that some ibuprofen can't fix. Thanks for asking!

Predictably, the other driver did not have insurance!

Update - body shop estimate came back at $15K worth of work. No word on whether any of the mechanicals will need to be replaced. I would guess that the body shop wouldn't be able to diagnosis damage to the battery pack but maybe I'm wrong.

Uggh. While no firm update, it looks like I'm at least two months away from getting this car back. No repair parts available so they need to pull parts off the line.

What a mess. Waited 18 months to get it. Have it for four months. Wait another two.
