[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 653913, member: 1863"] A few weeks ago someone backed into my truck in a parking lot. They gave me their insurance companies number and I filed a claim. They asked me to go get 3 quotes on fixing the truck. They cut me a check for the mid-priced quote. I asked them if I was obligated to take it to the shop who's quote amount they paid on. They said no. I could take it anywhere I wanted or not fix the truk and pocket the money. It was up to me. Since all three shops I got quotes from where reputable and recommended for their quality I went to the lowest quote shop and had some additional work (non related to claim) done on my tailgate for the same sum as the mid-priced quote that I was paid for. The insurance company said they didn't care what I did so I felt like I could take the liberty. I would inquire with the insurance company. Most that cut checks to you directly don't care. Once that check is cut they wash their hands of any liability. They like it that way......if they have to pay the vendor directly then they have to make sure that you are happy with the work before cutting the check. Disputes can drag out for a long time. If they cut the check directly to you then you are responsible to make sure the work is done to your satisfaction. [/QUOTE]
