Need some advice on the following:
Can anyone help explain what options are available if a body shop is taking an extremely long time for a repair?
My car has been in the shop since 10/25/2016. The repair was schedule to be complete by 11/23. My insurance company doesn't understand why the shop keeps stating reasons for the delay. The first reason was waiting for a feont bumper. Once the front bumper was received, the next excuse was waiting for a fender. Then just today, they are waiting for a front bracket for the front bumper attachment.
My rental car out of pocket was $290 after my insurance coverage for rental car was maxed. I returned the rental car 2 weeks ago due to the mounting expense. If I would have kept the rental car until now, it would have cost an additional $448 out of pocket. I am now driving my wife's car, which is an inconvenience.
Please let me know if there is any way I can recoupe the cost and time.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
