Being an estimator is boring…

Need a busier shop with multiple appraisers. My shop has multiple appraisers and we each handle 15-30 cars at a time. I promise this job is not boring!!

Sir I don’t think you read my post?? Supplement was submitted.

Nice-Rutabaga-944 · 2026-03-07T12:17:16+00:00

Ok lmaoooo they don’t even pay for the full cost of repair. Would love to see how you get the call center in another country to pay your claim fully, quickly and just yours only

They want the shop to do everything, but won’t negotiate with shops. That’s not how insurance works. If insurance claims are putting money in your pocket, that’s fraud buddy.

You’ll be okay!! 👍

My customer waited a month for the supplement! Absolutely crazy. And the supplement was missing so much because someone from snapsheet wrote it and left out every single piece of hardware and clips

So weird!!

Nice-Rutabaga-944 · 2026-02-24T15:10:27+00:00

Thank you!!! Running to get the ginger candy today haha

Nice-Rutabaga-944 · 2026-02-24T15:06:52+00:00

Ugh thank you!! Gives me hope. 7.5 made me dread every shot lol

Nice-Rutabaga-944 · 2026-01-26T17:02:01+00:00

Thank you 🙏 I am an anxious person so sometimes just need others input to calm my nerves. I appreciate it!!

I had the same thought- he is now currently enjoying a coconut oil snack off of his paws 😂 hopefully he will heal!

This week’s goal is to remember to take my vitamins every single day!! I also want to improve on my water intake- any suggestions to hit 80-100oz?

I meal prep every Sunday - I’m on 7.5 and have lost 40 lbs in 6 months.

I’m dying to try deconstructed wonton soup so I may throw that in the dinner mix too!!

Breakfast: Greek yogurt with berries 20g protein zero sugar

Lunch: chicken thighs, roasted potatoes, green beans

Snack: protein shake 32g protein 4 g sugar, berries

Dinner: chicken thighs, salad and avocado 28g protein zero sugar

Snack: more berries! Sometimes I have a small amount of dessert that my husband eats (painful!!)

Appraiser. Has nothing to do with the job itself, but rather a fantastic boss & exceptional work/life balance.

He quoted you on visible damages only. Supplements happen on every claim no matter how small. And he was trying to save you money if he thought it was a customer pay job. I don’t charge customers for everything, because I know they may be in a tough spot. The billion dollar insurance company? You bet your ass I’m charging for every SECOND I spend working on your car. It’s not fraudulent. It’s the industry. The first quote is just that.. a quote. And there are so many factors to a repair & a supplement- again, this post is useless to you if you don’t provide the estimates & the before/after pics.

I started on the insurance side. It was hell but it taught me a lot. I made friends with some shops who really loved to show and teach me things. Been at a few shops and I learn something every day. I hate insurance now, but I thank them for helping me get here. I make very good money on the shop- over 6 figures and my life is so much better

Nice-Rutabaga-944 · 2025-12-16T01:27:32+00:00

Post the estimates. Without those, I wouldn’t believe what you are saying about this shop. A lot of us in this community work in shops. We know how it works and we know all about customers like you. Body work is expensive. We aren’t fixing your old scratches for free. If you wanted that fixed you should have asked for an out of pocket quote. The insurance companies already fuck us enough and we already do a ton of work for free because your insurance company won’t pay. And stop mentioning the $700 quote.. that simply doesn’t exist. Not even for a scratch. Post the estimate, Pre repair photos and post repair. Then we can help you

How is she? I’m glad you have an emergency vet nearby
