Faster Horses (Apollo Beach, FL)
Thanks for all the input. I took the car to my dealer this morning and they went over it carefully and declared no structural damage. My insurance company has already paid me less my deductible, which will be paid out when the other insurance co. pays mine. My main reason for doing the repair myself, other than saving some money, is that I suffer from tinkeritis. I worked as a mechanic early in my career and have never been able to get it out of my blood.
I have that same condition *NM* Boxsterra - Monday, 27 June, 2011, at 4:28:32 pm |
Not sure why you submitted the claim to your insurance company. I would have let the other... MarcW - Monday, 27 June, 2011, at 4:35:02 pm |
I disagree with most of what you said Boxsterra - Monday, 27 June, 2011, at 6:53:45 pm |
I didn't say to delay reporting the claim to any insurance company, nor filing an accident... MarcW - Monday, 27 June, 2011, at 7:42:08 pm |

Many insurance policies have limits for reporting. After that time, your rights change. The same applies to reporting accidents to the police.
The dealer is a fine place to get an evaluation. In cases where they don't have the expertise to do a proper estimate, they will farm it out to a shop that they trust. Porsche also will use only OEM parts without being prodded and they usually have a generous loaner policy (i.e. you get a better car).
And you tell him to take his car to a "Porsche approved collision repair center" but that is exactly the only thing that a Porsche dealer would ever do.
