I was at the shop today and it seems there are major problems......More to follow once the adjuster comes to verify. Dont want to get my hopes up!

Have you decided if you'll go after the car wash for negligence?

Have you decided if you'll go after the car wash for negligence?

I spoke to two people but they said I really dont have much of a case as of now. If they pay for the rental (which there doing), pay for the towing and take care of the truck whether it be fixing or replacing there isnt much more they can sue for.....IDK what the eff to do.

The shop says there isnt much body work but the truck has a broken front diff and axle, hole in the oil pan and motor is ticking along there is no oil pressure. There was oil all over the ground and the truck was running for ten minutes before someone shut if off when it was in the air. Then the tow truck operator had it running when trying to get it off the fence. Also had it running when he drove it on and off the tow truck. If they want to give me a new diff, axle and motor thats fine with me! lol

Then the front bumper (needs replacing), hood, fender, two doors, quarter panel, rear bumper(need replacing) all need to be painted. But if you paint the front bumper and hood you need to blend into the passenger side fender, if you paint the rear bumper I assume you need to blend the paint into the rear quarter on the other side. That would mean only the two drivers side doors would be untouched. But if there painting all that there not going to leave the two doors they would paint the entire truck! Again no problem!

But there is something wrong with the brakes as there grinding and the ABS light is one, the check Stabiltack light is on and thats on top of the dented muffler. I was told there are bent crossmembers, majord dents on the undercarriage and who knows what else hasnt been discovered yet.

This is a 2007 with 90K, I would assume the motor and diff would be enough to total this out. I am so effen pissed as in the last 8 months I did new Michelins, new brakes, HID's, LED's, new rear glass, new compressor, new window switch, vent shades, etc, etc, etc.

My only hope is they give me top dollar for my truck so I have a decent down payment for a new truck. I will have discuss all this with the adjuster.

Get a crazy hungry lawyer.

I now a bunch of good lawyers in. Ny. See what the adjusters are saying first. Get receipts for all the new stuff and give it to the adjuster.

Does anyone know what a new Escalade/Denali goes for on a lease?

 

[08grey]

I am curious to know how this played out for you. Did they take care of you?

 

[Matt06Yukon]

That's gotta be totaled. That's a lot of damage, it'd be in the shop for three months.

Damn. I did not expect to see that. Hope everything works out for you.
