So my car got hit by a different party and their insurance is covering it.

Damages: Hood needs to be replaced, grill replaced, and minor front bumper damage.

Went to a body shop that comes highly recommended and they said that they'll hook me up free of charge if I decided to go with them. After I got the check from the insurance co. though, bodyshop said that I would have to cash it in and fork it over for the shop to start. (It's over $2,000).

Am I supposed to hold onto this until after the shops done? (which seems like the logical thing to do... after all, whats a quote for?) :shady:

I wouldnt recommend telling the body shop how much you got from insurance, since they will try to take it all. And yea normally you pay when the work is completed from my experiences.
