ST,

I followed the lead of a body shop owner in Mississippi (fenderbender 8/05 edition) and put up a large sign in my office which reads:

We have found these insurance companies difficult to deal with. We do not care to negotiate repair procedure or cost with these companies as there are many other companies we do work well with""

I have Progressive, State Farm, and Allstate currently listed. Right now, when I get a rep in from one of these three companies, they take pictures and have management call us to see how they can get their names removed from the sign. All we ask is that they be fair with their estimates, suppliments, and pay on time.
