What kind of deductible do you have on your policy? Be careful putting in smaller claims...

I've got a $1,000 deductible. From what I can estimate in parts right now, without paint and labor, there's approximately $1,600 in damage. Paint and labor will easily push it past $2,000.

The surcharge for filing the claim will cost me an additional $210 over three years (approx $70/year). I had the discussion with my agent yesterday.

Basically, if the repairs cost more than the deductible and surcharge; i.e. $1,000 + $210 = $1,210, I'm better off making the claim.

It will be only the second claim I've made in the 35 years I've been with State Farm, and the first one since 1986. I've got a really good agent, so I'm not concerned.

From a dollar standpoint that is correct. Sometimes you just need to be careful how the insurance company looks at it if you end up to start putting in multiple small claims like these on your policy.

I understand, but hopefully there won't be multiple claims, and as my history shows, two in 35 years isn't bad.

Not at all! Just pointing it out that's all. Hope everything goes smooth with the adjusters/body shops! We care too much about our cars

I have used a black baby sock in the past during hot days. Doesn't look too bad either. I had one with micky mouse on it for a while too. That gave it some a little fun factor. Right now, all my shifter knobs are leather covered so it's not a issue presently.

I know I'm a couple days behind.... This thread covers so much ground in a couple of days.

A clean Z is always

Forget about the sock or whatever protection over your knob... leather is the way!!
