THIS JUST HAPPENED TO ME
LISTEN VERY CLOSELY

1) do not listen to ANYTHING tow truck drivers say. NOTHING AT ALL. they're vultures. make sure you get a receipt from them showing how much you paid for the tow. tow guys get a kickback from the bodyshop.
2) body shops are out to make money. the less they spend repairing your car under the claim payout, the more they make. they will cheap out as much as they can. they ALWAYS have backdoor hookups for parts. GET YOUR OWN PARTS.
3) be fair to the bodyshop guys. (this is why you DONT use the tow guys shops). let them know you understand they need a cut, so work something out with them so you both are happy. they're more than happy to work with you so they know you wont hassle them later.
4) GET A RECIEPT FOR EVERYTHING. PAY ATTENTION TO THE DATE ON EACH RECEIPT.

if you need help in toronto msg me asap. i literally got my car back two weeks ago. its ******* mint. i ended up coming out on top cuz i have friends that guided me through this and made sure i didnt get screwed. I had no idea wtf i was doing and now i know EXACTLY what's up

that said, i did get screwed by the tow company cuz they made me pay 800 bucks for a tow and ended up stealing my car (long story) but i got insurance to pay me back the money. It was 5AM in the pouring rain when i was only wearing a tshirt and hoodie (my accident was 2 streets away from my house cuz i was going to get a coffee at timmies). i was freezing, soaking wet, shocked from the accident and furious at everyone involved.
