Rear ended and insurance

["Mike" <mquinto@xxxx>]

Hello List,
I posted a couple weeks go about my DeLorean being rear ended. I want to
give insurance info updates.
I have been in constant contact by the other guys insurance, Superior
Insurance group.
I have AAA And when this first happened they were most helpful and gave me
the agents name and # who would be handling my DeLorean.

Anyway, I tried calling that AAA agent and it took two days for her to
return my phone call. Then when I needed her the most she was out for the
holidays till January 2st.
Now, I have spoke with Superiors adjuster and agents and they approved the
$4508.11 for repairs by DeLorean Motor Center in Garden Grove. I received a
check yesterday from Superior for the cost of repair and Rent a car.

Get this, I was in my bank depositing the checks and I get a call on my cell
phone. It was some guy Bob from AAA.
He asks me if me if my car is drivable. I said, yes. Well your going to have
to take your car somewhere else to have the repairs done.
I asked, why.
He tells me that he looked at the damage of my DeLorean at Don's. He said, I
don't have a problem with the price of the parts. but, there asking to much
for shop rate $80.00 and hour. Your going to have to find another repair
facility that will do it for $45.00 and hour.

I said, wait a minute, I have the check in hand from Superior. They're
paying for everything. He says, oh well ok then.
I was pissed form this conversation. I hadn't heard a word from AAA and Don
has had my car for 11 days already.

Something for everyone to keep in mind. Even if your insurance company says
they will insure your DeLorean doesn't mean they will pay the shop rate at
any of your favorite DeLorean repair centers for damages.

I thinking of changing to Superior from AAA.
Regards,
Mike
