So sorry. To the shop owner, Karma will find you.

FL is a "no fault" state, but if a police report indicates the shop (or the individual who was driving, anyway) is at fault, you can call your insurance, explain the details, and let them and the other insurance company fight it out.
If the car is totaled, when all is said and done, you should be getting a check cut to you from one of the insurance companies for a new car (however, the shop/driver should eat the deductible -- fight for that). If the car is not totaled, look into receiving additional compensation for diminished value from the shop or driver's insurance company -- receiving compensation for that isn't law in FL, but if its a big, national company (Geico, Progressive, etc.), they will be motivated to compensate you anyway, because it is law in some state where they operate, and company policies on dealing with diminished value tend to be across the board. Anyway, it sounds like you've endured a lot -- far more than most people can even begin to imagine enduring. Not everyone has the will to do that; you are a survivor. This whole thing with the shop is a really, really shitty situation, and your frustration and exasperation are very understandable. But it will definitely pass, you will definitely be ok, and you will definitely have a new Z soon. Good luck and hang in there! |
That sucks bro, hope everything works out for you.

That is more of reason to used the UPrev Valet MAP whenever you're dropping your car off.

I wouldn't normally say this but I'd sue. Thats not acceptable under any circumstances and you deserve compensation.

Here is my exhaust video. I think m exhaust may be damaged. It is brand new. SS CUSTOMS, installed it and crashed my car. All the gaskets leak water like crazy. The driver side exit rattles like crazy and sticks out further than the passenger side . Still sounds pretty good. I need to get under it and access the damages. I've just been too busy...

Pretty much how I'm going to feel when the insurance company that crashed my car tells me some lowball price on repairs. Me In Afghanistan 2012. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Also, if worst comes to worst and you get a check... One of our Florida bros is selling his 40th, as well as some other in the 370z for sale section.

my best to op and thanks so much for your service
a few years back someone rear-ended me in my new 2005 ford escape... i was sitting still and he hit me at 50 mph... i just made my 1st payment... long story short, the adjuster refused to total it even at the advice of the body shop manager... they had to cut the escape in half to fix it... you could literally step over the rear axle and stand behind the front seats... very bad move on the adjuster's part... i informed him and the body shop manager that i wouldn't sign-off for it until it was perfect... i made them redo it 4 times... each time costing the insurance company more and more money... by the time i accepted the repair, the costs were 27k plus 4k in rental car fees... it stickered for 28k... in a round about way, i won... and the icing on the cake was that the idiot adjuster lost his job over my claim... i work in the insurance industry... i'm an underwriter... you do NOT have to accept the repairs on your property until it's fixed to your satisfaction... and they cannot close the claim until you do... keep fighting until you're satisfied with the results op... whatever that may be for YOU |
Nice info Janglez. 40th could probably use your help as he navigates the insurance claims nightmare. Maybe you 2 could talk.

I would absolutely be there for the insurance adjuster's appraisal, and I would absolutely videotape his entire appraisal process. In the event you go to court, one of the first things you have to do is be able to negate that adjuster's appraisal. If you can provide video that shows it to be cursory, so much the better. If you are polite to him on camera and he ignores your, or better yet is rude to you, that's also to your benefit when a judge ultimately gets to see the video.
If you don't want to hold a video camera while he's appraising, rig one up in a discreet place (make sure your state is a one-party consent state). |
Any update from the adjuster?

Update. After months of fighting with the shops insurance they finally admitted their client was at fault despite the police report already stating as such. My car was pick up from my home by a reputable shop for repairs. Now I am waiting for the insurance check to arrive which was allegedly mailed to my home address two weeks ago. I've had to reschedule training I was to attend to care to this matter. This has been a journey I hope no one else has to go through. Months of being told things were happening that have not lies being told to me insurance companies not moving my claim what so ever. Finally my cat is prepared to be fixed I will pay out of pocket if I must and file lawsuits if these things continue down this hard path.

Let me know if you still want the Evo front lip bro. If you want it, it's yours free and clear. It's the least I could do for you considering the misery you've gone through. It should be off my car next week.

Yes I do I will send you the address later. Thank you

Hate hearing all this man. Im in Afghan now and if I came home to that kinda baby back ******** I don't know what id do.

Update. My car is still in the shop to present date. It has been a long hard battle with the shop who crashed my car insurance company. They have finally agreed to pay in full to have my car fully restore to its original condition. The repair shop says they will be finished painting her in a few more weeks. I've had to purchase a new vehicle for a daily driver because my old one died. Got a 2012 TRD FJ.

Would you able to name the shop that crushed your Z?
Im from FL so we can be informed and stay away from this shop. If not you can pm it to me. Sorry for your misfortune. A young kid who does welcome checklist for service at Nissan dealership took a joy ride of my Z! While i was told they brought it for car wash. When it came back 24 miles clocked in my odometer and the car was dirty! I was so mad good thing nothing like this happened to my Z. |

I also agree on revealing the name of the shop please :tiphat: |
The name of the shop is SS CUSTOMS. Located in FT Walton Beach FL

I hope the employee who drove your Z got fired!

Dam I just read this whole thread and all I can say is F***!!! At best, they did pony up the money and maybe the lack of it being driven much will yield the formalities of the repair to the point that maybe you wont notice, sounds f'd up, but i'm just trying to make light of a dark situation and hope it works out for you.

:iagree:
So sorry ....gl with getting the results you want.
