This^^^^^^^^^^^^ do exactly this and you'll get some answers I bet!

(Forgot to mention that I had an email from the estimator yesterday evening that the bumper brackets were finally approved.)

Day 52:
I was able to make it out to the bodyshop and see my car today. Spoke with the tech working on my car and he said all that was left to do was cut out a piece of the headlight brackets (since I upgraded 2008 to 2012 headlights) and reassemble the car. They said the car also has a bad battery and has had to be jumped a couple times but that they would replace it for me. It had only happened to me once before months ago (4yr old battery)

As for the rental, he assured me that everything would be paid for even if the bodyshop would have to cover the costs. The estimator said they would have it ready for me by tomorrow morning. Let's see if that holds true.

My insurance co., USAA, gets it all straightened out 100% first before I take a car in to the Body shop. Then they make the body shop have the parts delivered and in stock BEFORE I take the car in.

You need to change insurance companies.

I think what maybe helps is staying with local Lexus Body Shop.
Here they have a Major and a Minor collision shop both.

I stay with Toyota Body shop also on my
05 Landcrusher

So far, so good.😊😊
