So Geico called me telling me the body shop won't bulge charging $20 per hour over what Geico is willing to pay. Geico agent called me asking me to find another shop or pay the difference. I found another shop. However the first body shop incurred costs already tearing down the car and ordering parts. Geico isn't willing to pay for that, and so the shop won't release the car to be towed.
It would have taken Geico 5 min to call the shop and ask for their rates before the shop started the tear down.
I have comprehensive insurance 100/300/100 and no claims in the last several years. All the body shops say Geico should have raised their rates and it was actually hard to find a cheap shop.
What's my recourse?
