So did anyone spill the beans?

[Big A]

This.

Okay, so the referred shop got a kickback for inflating the estimate, and YOU are pissed?

Was the shop expecting to inflate their estimate and get paid on it?

Seriously, it sounds to me like a borderline illegal buddy deal, and I don't really think that the shop in question has a pot to piss in.

He basically got the amount he was happy with for the repairs then tried to walk away. There was no making things right, he got charged for storage fees and to drop and reinstall the headliner. If it was referral bonus money I was after I would have posted in the hookups thread. I'm posses my friends got taken advantage of solely because of me.

Not a chance. It was my first claim ever dealing with insurance so theres no way I would been smart enough to do that. Plus thats not right. Im not gonna mess anyone over.

Don't play dumb with us, copper.

So he paid $500 for storage and referral fees? Would you just tell the entire fucking story in a linear form so this would make the slightest bit of sense?

[X] No more momentum. There is nothing else to be said. Im not fueling this drama anymore.

Another non-issue faux drama thread. And it'll keep on fermenting for a few more pages it looks like. Damn, I'm jealous of all the free time that some of you have to deliberately engage in this non-sense.

Well, not all of us have the time to get wasted and go on unrelated diatribes all night long, Mustangman_2000...

You have a valid point, sir. I've been sober for quite some time now and just realized how exquisitely insipid and sad some of these "drama" threads really are. Admittedly, very interesting fodder while in a drunken stupor. Sober, however, not so much.

What is it Macbeth said? A poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Carry on.

only a loser would quote Macbeth and act as if it has any relevance to how we should live our lives...

Once the check is issued anyone can do whatever they wish with that check they are issued. Thats not in question or an issue. Letting someone go out of their way for you multiple times, then walking away ia shitty. Its a principles thing. I feel this person never had any intentions of having his vehicle repaired. He just needed to find someone that he could take for a ride then walk away.
