Xeryon Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 They would view it as: he is not a professional and therefore is making the conscious decision to forfeit the value of his car in exchange for keeping the cash. Just the way the system works. The insurance company quotes prices based on retail costs of parts and retail costs of labor. The default assumption is that the average person is not capable or does not want to fix the car themselves so the insurance companies must create policies to affect the greatest percentage of people. I would leave it unfixed until you have the check cashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lceah Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I agree with Jason...that's how it works! Most people do use the shops to fix their cars! We work on our cars so we can keep the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannaBstuntin Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I would keep the dented fender on until you get the money. Because if someone hits your new fender, you're gonna have a hard time gettin more insurance money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
