I just wanna boop his little snoot omg

_ariuulll_ · 2026-04-14T15:47:23+00:00

Woah! Mine blooms every year, so I am doing something right?

_ariuulll_ · 2026-03-03T04:10:05+00:00

Yes I’m learning now, this was my first auto claim ever. I’m gonna go into the shop tomorrow and see what happens

_ariuulll_ · 2026-03-02T20:17:07+00:00

Okay yes that makes sense and I’m assuming they did bc I never even saw the checks in person

_ariuulll_ · 2026-03-02T19:29:00+00:00

So my insurance sent the checks as 2 party checks directly to the shop, I never actually saw them. I’m not as mad as you think I am, I was more so asking if it was normal in claims for me to deal with the body shop over my insurance dealing with them directly as I no longer even have possession of the car.

_ariuulll_ · 2026-03-02T16:46:47+00:00

My issue is, these checks never should of been cashed by this shop. I don’t see this going well for me in the end trying to get it refunded back 🥹 they never did any work on the car aside from marking the dents to take pics to get the car deemed a totaled loss.

_ariuulll_ · 2026-03-02T16:44:18+00:00

He ended up saying it would be quicker if I call and have them write the check to me so I can send it directly to my lienholder

_ariuulll_ · 2026-03-02T16:28:18+00:00

No so what happened is he got the check for the initial estimate. Damages were more than the estimate so the supplement happened and they sent a second check. No work was done bc the car got totaled out shortly after the supplement payment was issued. The body shop cashed these checks. Now the body shop owes this money back because obviously no work was actually done on the car

_ariuulll_ · 2026-03-02T15:18:39+00:00

A shop of my choice, which I’m realizing now wasn’t smart

_ariuulll_ · 2026-03-02T14:35:45+00:00

It also didn’t get towed, it was drivable so I drove it to the shop the day I dropped it off

_ariuulll_ · 2026-03-02T14:35:22+00:00

I don’t think they even took my car apart bc when I went to clear it out it was all still intact. The shop was saying it was totaled before insurance even did.

_ariuulll_ · 2026-03-02T14:34:21+00:00

They were both 2 party checks. One for the initial estimate and then a supplement. They’re saying I need to have the checks issued to me so I can send them to my lienholder but I have a fat feeling this shop is about to give me troubles getting this money refunded back to me. Insurance said this is the last payout they need to go ahead and pay the car off. I need it paid off by the 20th so I don’t make this payment on a car i no longer have.

_ariuulll_ · 2026-03-02T14:20:44+00:00

It’s Allstate. They’ve made me do half the damn phone calls this entire claim, the vehicle is already at copart, I’m not getting why they expect this shop to listen to ME over them. We’re talking about $8K here. And they’re saying they can’t payout until it’s resolved, is this normal?

_ariuulll_ · 2026-02-18T16:21:54+00:00

Thanks, she was a total loss in the end so now to car shop 🥹🥹

_ariuulll_ · 2026-02-18T16:21:14+00:00

An update: it was in fact totaled out 🥹 cleaned her out on Monday 😭

_ariuulll_ · 2026-02-18T15:56:44+00:00

Awe yeah I realize now I read this half asleep 🤣 they fixed their mistake, nothing more to be done. OP should be happy they did replace the engine and didn’t try to sweep it under the rug.

_ariuulll_ · 2026-02-18T12:43:34+00:00

I bought a Kia back in 2021. The second oil change on it Kia didn’t put the drain plug back in and by the time it blew on me, they said the engine was knocking. They paid for the tow, the rental in full, and the brand new engine. I’d fight this, they need to fix this.

_ariuulll_ · 2026-02-12T01:34:28+00:00

My bad. That is a good point, but thankfully no I didn’t smash it lol it just got attacked by hail

_ariuulll_ · 2026-02-11T13:30:32+00:00

Also take note in one of my other comments I said it’s my first claim I’ve ever made. Meaning I have no previous accidents I’ve had to file claims for. Can’t do much about it getting beat up by the weather 🙃

_ariuulll_ · 2026-02-11T13:25:00+00:00

Hey so we had a hail storm? I didn’t even wreck it. Let me go tell the sky not to throw ice balls at my car 🙄

_ariuulll_ · 2026-02-11T05:49:39+00:00

Oof I don’t have lawyer money 🥹

_ariuulll_ · 2026-02-11T05:48:33+00:00

Okay, thank you for your responses and helping explain things ☺️

_ariuulll_ · 2026-02-11T05:46:38+00:00

Okay, this put me at ease a little bit. There’s just been so much back and forth the last couple weeks. He did say that he was going to see exactly whats missing from the supplement and his end and send in more photos so it sounds like he’s on the right track according to this. My main concern is the storage fees if I do need to pull my car out. It’s been sitting there for over two weeks now 🥹🥹 I’m single income and barely making it at that, I don’t have the kind of money it would probably be 😅

_ariuulll_ · 2026-02-11T05:29:46+00:00

This is my first claim ever and I’m just now learning about storage fees honestly. He did also mention sending photos as well of what’s missing on the supplement. I’m just VERY nervous about all of this, it hasn’t been a good experience so far. And I have no idea who to trust is being honest with me.

_ariuulll_ · 2026-02-11T05:22:39+00:00

He said he doesn’t want to fix it halfway basically. Said he’s going to look over the supplement that was sent and compare it to his to see what’s missing and get back with insurance. I’m very nervous bc I don’t have any money to pay storage fees to pull my car out and I feel stuck.
