OK, got the Cayenne back from the body shop. They did a great job and quickly as well. But, the body shop bill was $2,184, about $1,000 more than I expected. I didn't complain at all because the shop owners are friends (I actually got them - and wrote - a 4 page article with pics on their shop for a local magazine when it opened). I didn't get an estimate - just told them to be fair when I dropped it off, so I've got no right to bitch and moan. But they certainly didn't give me the good buddy discount - for example, they charged me $100 just to clear an airbag light (no repair, just erased the code).
Anyhow, even with that increased charge and replacing the windshield ($330 done by a glass shop - unrelated incident), we came out $1,000 ahead of what insurance paid. So, overall, I'm happy. Not Cuda happy, but still good.
So, the boy will be back to cock-of-the-walk status when he gets back on campus, with the ladies flocking to him and his sweet Porsche ride. And I'll save the extra $1,000 to put toward some bodywork sprucing up on the 951. But I'll damn sure get an estimate from my buddy for that work (and 2 other bids from other shops I know just because the trust is gone).
