...Maybe... but the policy states the Appraisal Process is a one-and-done deal. Once the decision is reached on the amount of loss, it is final. That is in the Contract.

Whether they are trying to screw me or not, the possibility of me getting screwed is there and I would be legally bound to the letter of the Contract. Also, keep in mind, the Appraisal Process brings with it the real possibility of an immediate and non-reversible Total-loss of the vehicle if the Appraiser so chooses. I know others have had this happen to them and it is not good at all.

What they have done instead is far better. They have closed the claim. I'll receive a check in the amount of the one and only shop estimate I was able to get. Whether that's enough to repair the truck or not, I have no idea because they did not allow me to continue to find and solicit another shop to get comparison data ( I did find two other shops but both refused due to "Frame Damage" ).

So right now I'm feeling like I already got screwed.
