Repair Work Completed - A New Rearend

Yesterday was D-Day! After the rear-end collision in Las Vegas, the repair work on the Jeep was finally completed. All the way through this we had our fingers crossed hoping everything would work out. It did!

My advice is if you have a choice of who to allow to hit you when you’re stopped at light, make sure they have Progressive Insurance. You know the one. You’ve seen the commercials. Flo works for them! They were absolutely fantastic to work with and they even took the squeaks out of the back!

The original estimate for repairs was about $3600 but the final bill ended up just under $4200. Well, that was before they agreed to order a new rim for the tire on back that took the blunt of the blow. Yep, Progressive sure did a great job!

Remember this picture

It seems a good “bondo” job had been done previously on the tailgate. Maybe we should thank the person who hit me after all. Since the tailgate and bumper were replaced, the bondo is now gone.

Our first stop after picking up the vehicle was at Camping World. We got a a new tire cover (photo above). It was a $46 tire cover on sale for $29. We figured as long as we’re in this area, we might as well get a few more things done. So, a couple more appointments for additional work are now on our calendar before we’re on our way out of here!
