Good news, checks being sent to me for an initial $10k and change for repair of the engine. They've instructed the repair shop to do a Tear Down, to determine any additional damages as well! As long as we stay under 18k, the repairs will be covered. Over 18k and they will total the vehicle. Repair shops believes that we will be under that. Amazing how leaving a message for the CEO works wonders!
