Long time lurker, first time poster here looking for some advice. I was rear ended in my March 2017 Model S yesterday on the interstate after a 18-wheeler in the lane next to me couldn't stop in his lane, started veering into my lane (a dedicated carpool that you weren't allowed to enter or exit in that area), when I slowed down, the car behind me didn't slow as quickly and hit me. Luckily all in involved were able to walk away (4 minors and 4 adults). I'm looking for any reviews on any of the local body shops. The five Tesla approved body shops in Colorado are:
Colorado Coach Auto Body
Service King - Thornton
Prestige Imports Collision Center
Stuttgart Auto Body
Gerber Collision & Glass - Englewood
I live north of Denver in Erie so I am leaning towards Colorado Coach Auto Body in Boulder. I know Tesla usually sends cars to Stuttgart for delivery issues but when I needed work done on the car due to delivery issues they took it for over 2 weeks to remove the front bumper and paint it. I thought that was slow for the work required. They also had to replace the clear bra I had on there and that work was sub-par.
Any other advice that anyone can think of would be appreciated. Also, any thoughts on whether this is a total lost. I'm hoping not but I have been surprised with the little amount of damage to other cars that I've seen in this forum that was total lost. Thanks in advance
