AUTO DAMAGE ADJs!!

I’m a Florida 6-20 adjuster located in Lake County, Florida, and our Sheriff’s Department is trying to revive an unsolved homicide case. I’ve already shared this post on the r/autobody page and got some great feedback – but wanted to ask for input from all of you as well. We are trying to figure out what kind of vehicles are seen in the video (one small four-door hatchback, and one full-size dark colored SUV). Please keep in mind this incident occurred in 2018 – again, we are well aware of that.

I will copy and paste my comment from the actual Facebook post in the comments on here. Thanks for any help you guys can give! Just to be clear, I am in no way involved with this case, just ran across it while scrolling Facebook earlier today.

YOU GUYS

WHAT VEHs ARE THESE!?

Veh1 appears to be a full-size SUV, four-door. Hell, could be anything at this point – Honda pilot, GMC terrain, Volkswagen Atlas, who fucking knows.

Veh2 suggested to be numerous different vehicles – Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris, Chevy Sonic, Nissan Versa Note, etc. Would be 2018 or older.

I’m going to be completely honest with you guys, I can’t help but think the silver hatchback is a fucking Fiat 500 - am I going crazy?

Lightning Strike or Mechanical Breakdown?

FL 6-20 Adjuster here (worked for Allstate/PGR/GEICO)

At GEICO, I worked in Field Auto Damage. When working a “lightning strike” claim, we were often encouraged to total the vehicle (a constructive total) - we calculated it with an initial repair estimate paired with an open supplement of other items that MAY have been damaged. Almost all of the damage was electrical.

My question is: How do Progressive MRRs and Field Adjusters handle this? Florida adjusters preferred, but I’d love to hear from other states too 🫡

Thanks all!

I knew this was inevitable 😬

2017 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT
Mileage: 121,407m

We all know these are ticking time bombs, but I’m hoping it’s not as bad as it looks (and sounds). I’m attaching the engine scan report. Tried to attach video of me cranking up, but couldn’t figure it out. It made about 10–12 rapid/strong attempts at cranking, finally turned over but sounded weak.

Please let me know what you guys think. Should I have it towed rather than attempting a drive to the shop?

Don’t Rip Me Apart

Florida adjuster here, and my goal is to learn from the professionals (you). The body shops I’ve worked with are incredible, even if we fight like brothers and sisters. Mad respect for everything you guys do, so if you see my comments on your posts, please correct me as needed!

Hello,

As the title says, my ex has started a car insurance policy at my and my partner's address. He is very high conflict and has always been quite shady, so while this isn't super surprising - I'm not really confident with how the insurance company is handling it, so I'm looking for ways to escalate/report it so the policy is cancelled immediately.

I have called the insurance company twice and they said their underwriter would "look into it" but we just received more mail with "important insurance documents".

Any help is much appreciated.

*ETA - He never lived at this address. I have moved twice since we broke up years ago and he has followed me both times into new neighborhoods. Our zip codes at this point are only one number off, so I am just confused as to his reasoning doing this.

Can you advise why my WASILLA FCKING ALASKA POST was deleted?

Mods, you’re getting lazy. You could have at least told me. Not a surprise. At least you’re consistent. 👍🏼
