Yep, it does take a long time to get paid. When my 14 was totaled, I didn't get it settled up for 3 months and caused all kinds of headaches because I still had to make the payments on the 14, which meant 2 truck payments, but eventually I got reimbursed for the 2 extra payments made.
I got my truck back after 6 WEEKS in the shop. It took so long that USAA stopped paying my rental (without telling me).
They gave it a detail so it looks shiny but I don’t think it’s right.
1. Check out these photos of the side of the bed. Am I crazy or is that the wrong shape? I know it’s just a quarter of an inch or so off, but I see it every time I walk up to the truck now. Super minor but makes me grind my teeth.
2. Given the bend is exactly where the car hit me, I think they just bondo’d and painted it. How do you detect bondo on aluminum? Can you?
It should be open from the back side, you could look up and see if it is deformed. The only way to detect if plastic filler is used is with a paint thickness meter, but they are expensive for the kind used on aluminum
