Steven,
Not sure about the body shop part. I hope so. I have a good one in mind
that I would like to have take a look at the truck to evaluate the damage.
The claims representative didn't mention anything about a special rate,
other than what she said about "I know that Enterprise will rent you a car
for less that $22 a day."
I'm going to talk to my lawyer on Monday. I didn't want to involve him, but
I have too much at risk not to cover all the bases.
Thanks
Chris
