Contacted police again and they said it's a civil matter. Nothing they can do even though I have a final bill that I'm trying to pay in full. This is our justice system. Everything I've tried has been an absolute dead end. To the point I don't think I'll ever get my vehicle back.

I received your letter. Appreciate that

All-State sent an adjuster out to look over the supplemental repairs and denied all repairs and said they will not pay for any of it. It was unauthorized work and repairs were not consistent with accident. Labor charges in the supplemental went from $75 an hour to $165. Insane

Going again this morning to try and pay the total amount due and get vehicle back.

It that doesn't work, you need to emulate protests of the 20th century and stage a sit-in where you have about 50 people come and cram their lobby peacefully, flood their parking lot, and have everyone of them just be there to discuss car repairs without actually committing to hiring them. It will completely shut down their ability to do anything in their office during the day and will prevent them from making any new customers, plus it will be loud as ***** I know "get 50 people" isn't exactly a thing you can snap your fingers and do, but get your circle of people, get them active on social media, and organize. These clowns have inconvenienced you for 2 months. Time to give them a taste of their own medicine if they want to play hardball.

Any update?

Got my vehicle back. They day I went Katy Collision Center reduced supplemental from $8K to just over $4k. When I paid I put on check "paying under protest", which they refused to accept. Went and got another cashiers check just to pay and get my vehicle back.

I have since taken vehicle to a Ford Dealership and gave them paper work of work performed according to the Katy Collision Center and dealership said over $5,000 of the work they are claiming to have done was not done. They don't think any of the calibrations were performed and the shop refused to provide me with any calibration scans. I contacted company that the scans are run through to provide me with what scans the body shop performed and they said they cannot release those scans to me, can only provide to the body shop.

I also received a notice from All-State yesterday that another supplemental was submitted by Katy Collision Center. I am assuming they will attempt to tow my vehicle again as All State rejected the first supplemental and has said they will not be paying any more money.

Not having much luck with any lawyers wanting to go after these guys. Every thing seems like a dead end and looks as if this collision center will be able to continue operating the way they have been.

Are you still doing the tow hearing next week?
I'd also have a conversation with your campus's admin / police presence about the possibility of another illegal tow. School districts aren't so crazy about people coming on campus that don't have a legit reason to be there.

Any response from local media?

If you aren't on Twitter, I'd also consider blasting the business there. Figure out who the state/local reps are and tag them and the BBB and the news stations and keep after it.

Have you considered trading it in before they have a chance to file a lien? I'd want to get away from that situation and let them fight Allstate for any payment. Move on.

This is the move, unless you're not opposed to a little Jewish lightning.

At one point I thought about sending the car back their way with nobody in it and also on fire.

Small claims court for DTPA. Need to send a demand letter first.
