I don't have a problem with the body shop on this. They're only trying to be paid in full for the repairs.
The body shop's estimate clearly stated their labor rates, and Progressive received a copy of that estimate up front.
Only after the truck was repaired that they demanded that the body shop take less.
How many of you go to a restaurant, order $10 of food, never complain about the quality or quantity of the food, eat it all, and then try to pay $8 for it when you leave?
That's what Progressive is trying to do here.
