I wish there were more insurance guys that try to be as open and honest as you have been on here.
Thanks, I really appreciate that.

To the OP, sounds like you got a decent adjuster, hope your repairs turn out great and exceed your expectations.

I quote quotes from several shops for 3-3.5k to just fix a dent in my rear door. Your damage will probably cost much more.

mchapparone- thanks for your personal experience regarding my whole situation. Looks like i found a good shop and seems honest. Family owned and operated 26yrs in the area. They do alot of high end cars as well as the regular ones. In the lot pulling in saw a murcielago, aston, several lexus, mbs, bimmers, muscle cars.

Rest of the guys- thanks for the support. Next is dealing with my wife's injuries and the next steps to take to get her back to pre accident health.

To lighten the mood, it was funny to see my rear end blue taped on the sides to hold down the trunk, with pink twine wrapped a couple times to tie the lid down to the locking mechanis/latch. Passed two homeland SUV K9s near the airport on the way to the bodyshop and they had the look like WTF.
