Final Approach
This morning my girlfriend got rear ended (I can't think of a better way to put this, so laugh away)
Anyway it was a little more than a fender bender but the car is driveable. She got hit by a big truck towing a landscaping trailer, bumper is bashed in and the quarter panel is slightly crumpled. The guy who hit her was kind of a jerk but did give all insurance info. Unfortunately she did not call the police and did not call me until after he had left. She hit her nose on the steering wheel and was bleeding but says she is just fine and its not broken.
She called her insurance agent and gave him the other guy's info. Her agent contacted the other ins. company. The other party's insurance called her this afternoon and asked her to get an estimate, and have the shop send it to the insurance company directly.
The car is a new, 2011 Chevy equinox. Should I tell her to take the car to the chevy dealer for an estimate, or a reputable local body shop? There happens to be a large chevy dealer right down the street from us making this a convenient option.
