The $3800 Six Mile Auto Trip, Nov. 10, 2020-- Part 3: Since Then

NOVEMBER 12, 2020

The guy came from the Chevy dealer and towed the car there.  Later that afternoon, we got a phone call about the damage to the car.  I planned on paying for it myself if it was under $1000, but it sure wasn't.  To do the mechanical repairs (with damage to the radiator and various other parts up front, it came to $2100.  To get the grill and front bumper replaced the whole price came to $3800.

Quite a bit more than I wanted to pay for.  So, I called our State Farm agent (not Jake from State Farm) and made a claim.  After giving the information, we were assigned a claim number and told their person would contact the dealer and work out something.

The contact, however we found out, was to be virtual in these virus days.

We have not heard from anyone as of yet, but will be calling today to find out where we stand and what will be done.

Just several years ago, we had four vehicles and now we are down to just one, a 2005 Dodge Dakota.
