Screw the insurance Company as usual!! And then be the first one to complain when yours rates go up.

Who said anything about screwing the insurance co? I just want my car to be made whole again. I don't want something that is going to start coming apart 3, 6, 9 months down the road because of this. I pay the insurance company a lot of money, and haven't had a claim for 7 or 8 years.

Kim, maybe I am misinterpeting your comment. I'm guessing you are talking about hoping the block is cracked, I only said that because a new engine would not be coming apart in a few months. If they just stick the pan back on I may have internal damage that will only manifest itself at an unknown later interval at which time I end up holding the bag.


The oil filter is a paper filter, sorta like an old school filter. Should be easy to check.

I've seen a coworker go thru the back and forth finger pointing in the past. His wife had the oil changed in thier van, couple miles down the road the oil filter comes of, eng lite comes on and she pulls over. The tow truck drags one side down a sign breaking out several windows. It was 4-6 months down the road before it was all resolved, no one would take responsibility.

Good Idea on getting everything in writing from the insurance co and the shop concerning the protocals. I just see problems down the road that I get stuck with. If they do that this car will be up for sale, I'm not willing to take that gamble.

thanks for everyone's input.
