Someone hit my car the other night while it was parked outside of my house. Of course they took off and I didn't get a license #, but I did file a police report. I filed a claim with my insurance company, and they had a tow truck come out and tow my car to one of their recommended repair shops. The insurance adjuster works in that repair shop as well (I did not know this at first). The repair shop called me 5 times over 2 days telling me the price to fix the damages (went from $7,000 the first day, all the way up to $9400 by the end of the 2nd), ensuring me the entire time that the car is still "in the green" and that it's "still under the 80% threshold of being repairable." During this time, the adjuster still had not called me. Finally, on the 3rd day the adjuster called me and said the damages were up to $9800 and that I just had to pay my deductible to get the car repaired. I was shocked, I know my car is not worth anything close to that as I was looking to sell it previously. He tried to tell me the car was worth anywhere from $13,400-$18,000. I bought the car brand new for almost $19,000. I asked him to send me the report he ran because I know my 2010 base model Altima that is in fair to poor condition is not worth anything close to what he quoted me. His report did not show the previous condition of my car (I had a previous accident that I did not report because I did not want to pay the deductible, it had a "glued on" bumper that was spray painted and a broken headlight, and that is just the obvious stuff). I asked him if he even looked at it and he said no, he just compared it to vehicles in the area. Does this sound off to anyone else? Is it possible he has an agreement with the body shop to get them work? I don't want a car that will have an accident reported on it that I will never be able to sell.
