Default Went to the shop today...

...and he told me that it is still too early to tell when I will get my car back. All I know is that I can see the back seat from the front end. The good news is that everything is done as far as the removal process is concerned. Now it's time to reassemble. Dammit, I want my car back badly!!!!!!

bullshit. If they've got it all taken apart, then the know what all they have to put back in. He just doesn't want to give you a date so he doesn't have to commit his manpower resources (that way he can divert your mechanic if somebody squeaks more than you). I'd push him harder. It's their business.. they know. (Hell, how can they give a repair estimate $$ if they don't know the labor???

Push the issue.

and then when they give you some BS date that's twice as far out as it should be, wait 2 days, check and see if they have done ANY work. If they haven't, call your insurance company and tell them you are concerned the shop is overstating their hours because the car has sat there for 2 whole days without so much as a glance from their mechanics. Chaos will ensue and they'll get your car done lickety split to be rid fo ya....

That is excactly what I am afraid of. He said I can come by and look at it whenever I want to, I told him I would probably check on it on my days off.
