Ok my wife was driving down the road the other day and someone pulled right out of a business driveway right into the side of our minivan. (thank god not the Mark VIII) anyway I use Geico and they totaled it based on the damage but it really didn't look that severe to me. So being that the other driver was 100% at fault, I contacted the other company (Nationwide) and they sent someone out and decided to fix it. Only problem is that Nationwides quote came in at almost $2000 less than Geico's. Is Geico inflating theirs or Nationwide trying to scam? Nationwide said they would pay any additional if it came up. Not alot but reasonable if it took more time or they found something. The owner of the shop is confident but whomever answered the phone before told me that he doesn't think it will be enough, I don't know. does anyone have any experience with either company or this situation. I don't know what to do. the total loss will leave me in debt by almost $2000, as the car is not worth what I owe. So I prefer them to fix it.
