I have heard somewhere that by law you can have any insurance repairs made wherever you choose. Most insurance companies are just looking for the lowest possible bidder. If I were you, I would look up the insurance laws and see what's up. Wish I had a link for you but that is something I have not yet had to deal with. Good Luck!!

This is a true statement in Texas. When I wrecked my 96 vette State Farm even sent me a letter stating that it is illegal to deny a body shop of my choice to fix my car.

There right, but Extreme is very good. Mgr has a MY Vert last time I was buy there. I'm assuming you mean Extreme in Plano, Ave K and Plano Pkwy? I would make them let you get it done at Stuarts though if thats what you want, they seem to have more reccomendations and expirence with these type of repairs but the insurance company cannot deny you. I got an attorney if you need one.

PLEASE post your results if you choose to take the road less traveled and go the legal route to force your insurance company to comply. I would like to see the outcome. Good Luck! :thumb:

It's not that Progressive will not work with Stuarts. They will not agree with blending in the corner pannel. This has to be done in order to blend properly. I have recieved a check from Progressive for 369.00, this will not cover the entire cost. I can't imagine any reputable shop that would tackle this project without sanding and blending with the corner pannel. Stuarts will try to work with the rear bumper alone. He is almost certain that this will not work. Afterwards He will have to call Progressive over to look at the unfinished product. Hopefully Progressive will understand and allow Stuarts to finish the job. Meanwhile I'm sitting on my ass and finally a beautiful weekend is comming. Red tape is wasting my time. It seems that Progressive insurance is difficult to work with according to the few body shops I've contacted. They should think twice before covering 16 year old girls.

By the way, while Stuarts and Progressive are fighting this out, where can I go to rent a Corvette. Do you think Her insurance will cover this. :lol:
