Rush -

I briefly browsed this thread.

In my experiences, it's always best to have the car at *your shop* and let the adjust and shop work it out. Granted, if you do the latter, and then bring it to the shop, they can file for adjusments, etc - but that just becomes more time increased/delay in the repair.

The shop, if they are decent, will have their initial estimate and then *haggle it out* with the adjuster for items that they think they should be covered for/paid for, and the adjuster does not see it as such....

Yeah, it pads the shops pockets a bit but it does ensure a thorough repair.
This is my experience with at least on the collision/bodywork side of things.

Your situation is unique.....in that it's more electronics, but it should in theory be still cheaper than a loss..

Thanks for the comments, I appreciate it. Those are what I'm thinking.

The car is at the shop, got there Saturday, 28 Feb., USAA saw it on 03 Mar., and I have not heard anything. I did email on Wednesday, and if I do not hear anything today, tomorrow I'll call.

Update:

After a call and an email yesterday, this appeared in my online account, "Mr. Spiny-Norman, I have set the payment by check up which should be getting sent out today."

Which ended nine+ days of wondering. It does seem that it is being repaired, but the shop is closed. I will get the repairs list ASAP and post it here.

Very excited to have the car back! Well, minus the deductible.

Stay tuned...
