[QUOTE="Gary B., post: 693889, member: 18040"] Jaybird- I've got less respect for insurance companies than the average person. My wife works for one. I've also got even less respect for the car business. I've been in that for almost 26 years. How often does your doctor or dentist swallow the deductable? Furthermore, do guys like Casper really expect the body shop to reduce the price by about 25% on a job that's already had the profit slashed to the bone by the insurance company? Where do you think they make that up? By cutting corners, fixing parts that should be replaced, using used parts were possible and available, and slashing finishing time. On the rare occasion where the insurance company actually does take it in the shorts, they just jack the rates up, or cancel the person who then pays high rates somewhere else. A reputable body shop can, and will turn down a job that has no, or less than no profit. Don't get me wrong, I'm really not blaming Casper. This is just the end result of a poorly run system where the insurance companies literally charge what they want, pay only what they need to, and pass that on to someone who thinks they are going to make big money fixing cars when they really have no business fixing cars because they don't have the scruples or talent it takes. Make no mistake, the losers in this deal are Casper, you, me, and every other sap who left to pay the extortion, er, premiums to the insurance companies and aren't able to tell an automotive repair facility from a backyard chop shop.
