Fantastic… Very Happy. You literally almost doubled my offer from Essurance Insurance Company. I am happy beyond belief.
The first offer from Essurance was $5,640 and in 10 days because of hiring Appraisal Group of America the new offer was $10,402.
Terry called Essurance and negotiated everything with Lars, their appraiser and I am amazed. The Best. I will send you a bottle of wine.
I thought it was weird when Terry stated he liked negotiating with Essurance but you did miracles. I can pay off my car and get another car. I am so happy I don’t have to pay my finance company a ton of money.
Thanks

Assuming that the vehicle has been correctly repaired.
