Insurance update

[Steve1968LS2]

State Farm has been working over the estimate they got from BOS. Seems like their biggest "complaint" so far is thier labor rate of $75 an hour.

The very nice person I spoke with today alluded to $48 an hour bing the "average for the area"..

I laughed.. loudly.

No shops that work on old cars charge anywhere near that. Heck, the last shop I used just up the street (Hot Rods and Custom Stuff) charges $125 an hour.

I can't even think of good shops in cheaper areas of the country that charge $50 and hours. much less that being the average.

Anyways, it's all part of the negotiation.

What are shop rates for shops that work on these types of cars in your area?

I'm not worried.. I will prevail even if it has to go to a group of 12 to decide

So ends my update..
