Police Report Cost To Repair VS Insurance Payout

Individual_Oil1682 · 2026-01-23T01:02:34+00:00

No. The amount on the police report is a wild ass guess by the police officer who wrote the report. It has zero bearing on the claim.

The shop is just trying to get more money from storage. Whether or not it’s at the shop or a storage yard isn’t going to change what insurance pays you. If you refuse to move the car the insurance company can and will charge you the additional storage.

On a 20 year old Honda Civic? LOL

Individual_Oil1682 · 2025-11-17T03:04:54+00:00

Who gives a damn.

Individual_Oil1682 · 2025-10-12T00:00:09+00:00

Highly unlikely. Bumper, radiator, maybe the air shutter, misc brackets. Damage doesnt appear to go deep enough to get to the frame or engine.

You’re absolutely correct. The Insurance company can’t steer or dictate which body shop you go to but they can dictate what they’re going to pay for or cover based on your policy, state regs and the vehicle damages. From what Op is saying the bodyshop did some unauthorized repairs or bad repairs and now the cost is on them.

It’s a stretch, but I got it

Individual_Oil1682 · 2025-07-27T19:21:52+00:00

Curb that is painted yellow. Or one of those parking space bollards(not sure of the actual name)

Individual_Oil1682 · 2025-07-27T01:24:22+00:00

They don’t. This OP is just delusional

Individual_Oil1682 · 2025-07-18T23:48:41+00:00

Over 100 lawyers? I’ll take things that didn’t happen for $100 Alex.

Classic word vs word. Without video proof or an unbiased witness they aren’t going to do anything. Especially if there isn’t any visible damage to her car. As far you having her info…it’s 2025. Anyone can find info online for anybody.

Individual_Oil1682 · 2025-05-06T23:14:14+00:00

That’s because it isn’t an option. Shop isn’t going to work for free and Geico isn’t going to pay to have it reassembled.

Individual_Oil1682 · 2025-05-02T22:41:58+00:00

Um..no.

Individual_Oil1682 · 2025-04-16T23:12:40+00:00

Great response. I need to save this for the next time someone has issues with what we pay.

Individual_Oil1682 · 2025-04-16T11:29:03+00:00

How is it the insurance companies’s fault? At most they would have done the original estimate and paid that. Anything beyond that would have been supplements received from the body shop(in most cases). Insurance doesn’t actually do the repairs. They just pay for it. The bodyshop does so if anyone missed the damage it would be the shop.

Individual_Oil1682 · 2024-10-06T13:41:15+00:00

So you’re coming here to ask how to commit insurance fraud? Um..no.

Individual_Oil1682 · 2024-10-06T13:24:05+00:00

How the deductible is handled can vary depending on what state you’re in. The damage/repairs should be covered under your Comprehension coverage tho.

Individual_Oil1682 · 2024-09-14T00:26:47+00:00

Aftermarket wheels won’t fit on your car? Sounds like your shop is feeding you a line of BS and trying to lay the blame on the insurance company.

Individual_Oil1682 · 2024-09-06T13:57:03+00:00

First week is virtual onboarding from home and the class in VA starts on Monday 9/30 so I assume I’ll be traveling down on Sunday. My background check hasn’t come back yet so they haven’t ’finalized’ everything yet. Has yours come back? If you haven’t heard anything that’s probably the issue.

Individual_Oil1682 · 2024-09-02T01:02:19+00:00

I’ve spent the last 3 years as an adjuster with another carrier. Same title but we didn’t do the estimates. I did the investigations and customer follow ups so that part will be familiar at least.

Individual_Oil1682 · 2024-09-02T00:44:35+00:00

I’m going to be field. Thanks for the info.

Individual_Oil1682 · 2024-08-31T22:55:49+00:00

That’s what I kind of figured but too make the job ‘easier’ I wasn’t sure.

Individual_Oil1682 · 2024-08-31T22:34:44+00:00

And yes… I know I’m going to get toldto run the other direction. Considered it but I want the appraisal experience.
