A lady rear ended me at a red light when I was driving the ‘22 4Runner. She admitted fault. No issue there. The bumper is scuffed, but damaged and deformed nonetheless. Sheet metal is fine.
The issue is that she has progressive insurance. The claim lady couldn’t tell me whether or not her (the driver) policy would allow for the use of OE parts. Is this a normal thing? The truck has 1500 miles on it. It’s a no brainer to me.
Part of me wanted to see if they’d make it right, but I suppose not. It looks like I’ll be going through our insurance and they’d just get the money from them in the end. It will just take time.
The same thing happened to my dad 20 years ago. New Tahoe. Factory oil in the sump. A lady with progressive insurance ran into him.
