Just call and tell them you would like a check so you can do it yourself on your time. No problem with that. I've done it 3 times in 14 years all with State Farm. -
In San Jose? I don't think so. You can request that the work be done at the shop of your choosing. You might have to argue with them a bit though. At which point, they might just cut you a check. A Lawyer helps when dealing with insurance though. Keep that in mind ;)Leave a comment:

Insurance Money
Hey guys. So here's the deal. I got read ended awhile back. I went to a shop that a friend of my dad owns. They estimated the repairs to be 1300 dollars.
I was just going to get it repaired because I thought thats all I could do.
But the guy who runs the auto repair part of the shop told my dad I should try to get the money for the accident instead of actually fixing it.
I would love to do this as there really isnt much damage and the car isnt worth very much anyway. Its already salvaged.
He told me to call the insurance company (AAA, both me and the guy who hit me have AAA) and pretty much just ask.
I was wondering if any of you have done this? Is it possible?
Anything special I should know?
thanks
