You get what you pay for!

I have State Farm and they are great. They got in a lawsuit many years ago for using non-OEM parts (like many insurance companies were) so they don't do that anymore. You will pay more, but like I said, you get what you pay for.♠

I'm with Armitage about Geico using inferior parts.

(google g35 knight rider) so only OEM stuff really was new radiator and some other stuff that was not really important to the look. lol

That's different. I did that with my Honda years ago too.

What I'm talking about is when you want a car fixed to OEM spec and Geico used non-OEM parts to fix the car.

I feel you man! I just got my Z back today from the shop. 2 weeks ago we had huge hell storm here in witchita Ks. The insuance cat teams had to come out, And they don't let body shop give quote the cat team gives it then the body shop can ask for more if not enofe. Long story short my Z got 7.650.00 from insurance and body shop got another 2,000 from them so it costed almost 10k for my Z. New hood, new roof, new hatch, 1 new front quater panle, front windo, and back window plus tint. The rest was all pdr on the doors and back panels. I have 2008 so required to use all OEM parts and tell truth I like my new paint job more then when I bought it. I have the madnetic black now has 2x the flake sparkle in it now. If I get time ill post pics up you'll cry seeing the damage. I'm posting from phone so no pics right now.
