Same old story.
He is pittling with it when he has little else to do. It's got some primer on it and after I mentioned a few times recently that he'd had it about a year and a half he noted that the slot it was in would have made more money doing normal insurance jobs over that year and a half. Which, of course, means nothing, but it sounds good...... The "I'm taking one for you" statement.
Basically, I'm along for the ride. If I move it, I'm screwed, as far as dollars go. Leave it and he gets paid by my insurance company and the $2000 agreement we have for painting the part of the car not painted by Hagerty.

This ^ David should be his incentive for getting it done & out of there!

My thoughts too Chris.



I suspect he's working on it as other jobs allow and any work done on it is probably billed into somebody elses repair and any money from the GTO repair simply goes in his pocket.

Have you tried to get Hagerty to put pressure on them to get it done?

I did. I spoke with them some time ago. I chose the shop. There is no time limit with the repair. I am disappointed with Hagerty as far as an adjuster is concerned. They hired a local adjuster to do the initial quote. He was a mile off on the amount and suggested a shop named Goolsby's Customs for the fix. At the same time he used something like $42 (actual number earlier in the thread) per hour on his quote. Goolsby's is a CUSTOM shop and the numbers the adjuster used wouldn't get you a place in the parking lot, much less repaired, since they aren't a body shop. Since the initial time, the local adjuster fell off the earth. Hagerty has since that time simply OK'd PG Collisions estimate corporately and told me any supplements would be approved via email. I believe a visit from an actual human adjuster would have been a help along the way. That obviously costs money.
