Hey guys,
Last month, I was rear ended in los angeles and filed a claim through the other party's insurance. I went to a Tesla approved body shop and sent the estimate they gave me to the assigned claims adjuster. After three weeks, the estimate got approved however the amount they gave me is 750$ less than the estimate given by the body shop.
Here's the breakdown:
Body shop estimate: ~$1500
Other party's insurance payment: ~$750
The claims adjuster told me that if supplemental payment was required, the body shop would have to contact their appraiser.
I was wondering if anyone had similar experiences or if I should keep contact the insurance company for full payment before I send my car in.
