Got hit in my dart

Couple things, I quit dealing with Geico a long time ago they are a second rate insurance company. Second getting a fair compensation agreement is only half the battle the other half starts when you begin to have your car worked on. these days Everybody can do it and it seems like no one ever does it right. I am no professional body and paint man but the things I do professionally will be done correctly and to the customer satisfication!
You got that right, once the $ value is agreed to, getting the work done in a timely manner and done correctly is the next battle. Goof-Ball repair shops could likely be a thread of its own.
