Now they say $9,000. There no such thing as “just a dent” with new(er) vehicles. The safety sensors that didn’t keep Tom or the other driver from colliding cost a fortune to replace. The side panel that might just have been dented on an older vehicle was shattered.
And they say it will be done by the end of the month, *sigh*. I assume the repair shop is coordinating their prioritizing with USAA, knowing that we have the rental car coverage until, conveniently, the end of the month.
None of those sensors are in my old car. But I've seen the ads. Every one has a disclaimer that none of them replaces the key safety sensor - which is the nut behind the steering wheel.
