This type of tactic is what I have to fight with every day!

I had a customer drop one off today and, told me that the insurer(not hers) was requiring 3 estimates and, that they'd pay the cheapest one. Well, it's already in my shop(the only place it will be getting estimated at) and, torn down. I'm waiting for them to call me with this illegal nonsense and, I'll set them straight.

I trust insurance companies to do right like I trust our federal gov't to make sound financial decisions.
