Autoshop wants YOU to make an estimate? Please... Once you take it from the lot you on your own without evidence. Read other complaints - when THEY brake something they charge people for parts/labor. WTF

Asking you to get estimates doesn't seem too bad, really. Their insurance will want to pay you off quickly, but they also want to do it as rapidly and cheaply as they can. If this goes to court you may win something, but it won't make up for your trouble and time wasted fighting the shop. The judge will ask them what they did and they will tell the judge you refused to get estimates. That alone may cost you your case. I tow cars all the time with the hood bungied down, and drive them with busted winshields. Your not driving across the country, just to a body shop. I half expect, because your car is 14 years old, that you'll end up giving them the car for around $300, no matter what shape it's in.

They said it was an "accident"? People usually call police when accidents happen ... just in case for future legal proceedures you need a police report ... just a hint ;)
